Glaisyers ETL has appointed Steve Kuncewicz as partner in its
recently established entertainment, media and sport practice. Mr Kuncewicz is a
very well-known lawyer in the North West market, and a leading practitioner in
the fields of intellectual property, media and social media.
He joins Manchester and London-based Glaisyers
ETL from Clyde & Co, where he was partner and head of the firm’s creative,
digital and marketing sector group. His appointment follows that of partner and
head of corporate Daniel Varney, who joined Glaisyers ETL from Clyde & Co
in autumn 2022.
Steve 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.
Steve's practice focuses on creative, digital
and marketing agencies, and he is co-founder of the Bulletproof Agency Network,
a business support and professional development organisation for the owners of
these businesses across the UK.
Steve 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. It's a great team, and I'm delighted to be
working with Daniel again.'
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.
'Since becoming part of the ETL Global network in 2018, Glaisyers has been attracting ever-higher quality work, both locally, nationally and internationally. Steve’s appointment means we can now offer our clients, and ETL Global partner firms, an even greater breadth and depth of service, particularly in the fields of media, marketing and digital industries.'
