Knights maintains regular dialogue with a number of law firms and confirms that it is currently in discussions with Moore Barlow LLP regarding a potential acquisition. However, there can be no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, nor as to the terms of any such transaction.
A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate.
