Firm Details
The traditions and values, which first established Russell & Russell as an early pioneer of legal services continues to serve us well today. We still provide friendly, professional advice in the manner a traditional high street law firm would, but this is now blended with a 21st Century approach.
The practice has grown organically to incorporate ten offices stretching across the Northwest; two in Bolton and one in Atherton, Bury, Chester, Farnworth, Horwich, Middleton, Oldham and Todmorden. Although we pride ourselves on being a regional firm, several of our departments service clients throughout England and Wales.
The firm holds a number of industry related accreditations across all its service areas, in particular the Lexcel Practice Management Standard.
