Our Value

At Glaisyers ETL we are committed to developing talent for the future of our firm and the profession as a whole.

A Firm Shaped
by Heritage and Leadership

Who we are

For more than five decades, Glaisyers ETL has been at the heart of the North West legal community. From our offices in Manchester and Liverpool, we have grown from a respected local practice into a nationally recognised, full-service law firm. Our success is not only measured in years, but in the thousands of outcomes we have delivered: protecting businesses, securing justice, and guiding individuals through life-changing decisions.

Our Leadership

In January 2024, Russell Brown was appointed Managing Partner, leading the firm alongside David Jones, Executive Partner and UK Head of Legal. Russell, who trained and qualified at the firm in 2000, has built one of the region’s leading employment law practices and now drives our strategic growth. David, as ETL GLOBAL’s UK Head of Legal, ensures our clients benefit from seamless access to resources across the international ETL Group. Together, they are guiding the firm into a new era, defined by ambition, innovation, and long-term success for our clients.

We provide clear, pragmatic advice across the full spectrum of legal services. Whether advising on complex corporate transactions, navigating regulatory challenges, or supporting individuals with personal legal matters, our lawyers combine technical mastery with a practical understanding of what works in the real world.

Our recent growth

We merged with Quinn Barrow Solicitors, strengthening our presence in the city and broadening our services to include family law.

In early 2025 we welcomed seven new colleagues and announced six internal promotions, growing our team to more than 85 professionals.

  • High-profile mandates

We advised Duncan & Toplis on a strategic acquisition in London and secured a major High Court victory, recovering £370,000 in costs for a leading technology client. These successes reflect just a sample of the breadth and calibre of matters our team handles across industries and practice areas.
