The traditions and values that first established Russell & Russell as an early pioneer of legal services continues to serve us well today. They 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 eight offices across the North West; two in Bolton and one in Atherton, Bury, Chester, Farnworth, Horwich and Middleton. Although we pride ourselves on being a regional firm, a number 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.
