History of Charles Russell
Charles Russell and Co. was founded in 1891 by Charles, son of Lord Russell of Killowen (MP and later Attorney-General under Prime Minister Gladstone and Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales).
In the 1920s, Charles was joined in partnership by his nephew Gerald Russell (grandfather to Patrick Russell, our current Senior Partner) and since then the firm has grown organically and by acquisition.
