Bill Knight, the last-but-two senior partner of Simmons & Simmons, is keeping himself busy. Not only is he Senior Warden of the City of London Solicitors Company – soon to be Master – but he holds no less than three other roles.
He is chairman of the Financial Reporting Review Panel, deputy chairman of council at Lloyd’s of London and a gambling commissioner. Indeed, Knight is taking it upon himself to launch a personal crusade to persuade more senior lawyers to spread their wings by taking on senior non-executive positions in the big wide non-legal world.
