GLAISYERS Solicitors LLP has been appointed by the Knutsford-based Forum of Private Business to provide legal support for its helpline and members.

Russell Brown, partner and head of employment law at Glaisyers Solicitors in Manchester, will be advising the Knutsford based Forum of Private Businesses and its members on employment legal matters.

He said Russell: “With Glaisyers’ full service offering for SMEs, owner managed businesses and their directors, we are building a loyal local client base.

“Partnering with the Forum of Private Business to extend our services seemed a natural move. Glaisyers are now the appointed lawyers to represent the Forum’s members.”

Ian Cass, managing director of the Forum of Private Business said: “We’re delighted to have Russell on board. As a frequent contributor to a wide range of employment law publications and a member of the Employment Law Association, his experience is second to none and will be a real asset to our members.

“The legal knowledge he can provide to our clients underpins our commitment to providing the best advice to SMEs across the north west. We look forward to strengthening our partnership over the coming months.”
