Pros
The majority of the associates are genuinely lovely
Cons
The place is weirder than you could ever imagine. I completely agree with the other reviews which say that the way Knights sell themselves is entirely different to the reality. Be honest and open by all means but you can never say anything which the management team disagree with or you will be fired. All law firms have problems and you may be reading this thinking it can’t be worse than your current firm. I did exactly the same and found out it could be so much worse! People seem to disappear with no notice and for no real reason other than the management team has decided they are not the right “fit” or they have said something they don’t like. The usual gripes you have with a law firm, the odd nightmare associate/partner, long working hours etc, really do pale into insignifcance when you are sitting wondering if you have a job from one day to the next. I wasn’t fired but the whole atmosphere was too unbearable to stay. There is no training, no development plans and no real interest in your career. You’re solely there to make money for the management team. Hopefully there are enough reviews here now so people don’t take an unfortunate detour on their careers to Knights I’m not even going to mention the pay/benefits because it’s dreadful but nothing compared to the damage to your career and self worth is in my opinion
