Manchester and London-based law firm Glaisyers ETL has appointed Steve Kuncewicz as partner in its recently established entertainment, media and sport practice.
Kuncewicz is a well-known legal face in the North West, and a leading practitioner in the fields of intellectual property, media and social media.
He joins Glaisyers ETL from Clyde & Co, where he was partner and head of the firm’s creative, digital and marketing sector group. His appointment reunites him with Glaisyers ETL partner and head of corporate Daniel Varney, who joined from Clyde & Co in Autumn 2022.
Kuncewicz brings a range of new expertise to the firm and was one of the first lawyers in the country to build a practice focused specifically on social media, having been an authority on this area for more than a decade.
His practice focuses on creative, digital and marketing agencies, and he is a co-founder of the Bulletproof Agency Network, a business support and professional development organisation for the owners of these businesses across the UK.
Kuncewicz said: “From my first conversation with Glaisyers, I knew that the firm would be the right fit for me in terms of my practice, but also its values and entrepreneurial focus.
“The firm is at a very exciting stage of its continued growth, and I’m very much looking forward to making my own contribution in the years ahead.”
At Glaisyers ETL Steve will work alongside solicitor Sara Shulman, an entertainment and sports specialist who joined the firm in 2021. Glaisyers ETL is part of the ETL Global network of professional firms which includes some of the UK’s leading entertainment, media and sport accountancy practices.
David Jones, executive partner at Glaisyers ETL, said, “Steve is a pioneer in social media and marketing law, and an acknowledged expert in his field. I am really pleased to welcome him on board and look forward to working with him to build a market-leading practice.”
