Knowles announced his return to law after retiring from the global giant DLA Piper in 2016 to become chair of DWF LLP, an ambitious UK player with a staff of more than 1250 lawyers in 25 cities around the globe. It that has long modelled itself on Knowles’ former parish. Knowles, who spearheaded DLA’s meteoric yet unlikely rise from regional upstart to become one of the world’s largest law firms, assumed the position in September 2017.[3] He was educated at the University of Sheffield, where he studied law, and joined Broomhead & Neals as an articled clerk in 1978.[4] In 1996 he was appointed as managing partner of what was then Dibb Lupton Broomhead.[4] A member of the ultra-select club of commercial lawyers to have received a knighthood, Knowles was a key figure in DLA securing a transatlantic tie-up in 2005 with US firms Piper Rudnick and Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich.[5] He was knighted in March 2009.[6] In 2016 he was picked to serve as High Sheriff of Greater London for one year.[7] Sir Nigel is also the current Chairman of the Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership, a role that works with the private and public sector within the Sheffield City Region to drive economic growth across the nine local council areas that comprise the Sheffield City Region.
