"Work on deals of all sizes and complexity is praised as 'impeccable' by a client base that appreciates the firm's blend of technical excellence and commercial nous." Legal 500
Burges Salmon is proof that law doesn't necessarily have to mean London.
Consistently ranked amongst the UK's most profitable firms, over recent years Burges Salmon has experienced exceptional and sustainable growth as we continue to win prestigious clients out of the hands of our City rivals. Our national and international client base ranges from government departments and FTSE 100 companies to charities and private individuals.
We remain a single-site national firm. The result is a cohesive, communicative environment which allows our lawyers to develop stronger working relationships – not only with other members of their team, but across the firm as a whole. This is a deliberate and enduring strategy that promotes trust and confidence and increasingly differentiates us as a firm.
Our progressive culture encourages our lawyers to be original thinkers who deliver proactive and enterprising legal solutions across a broad spectrum of practice areas. We actively support our individuals at every level of the practice, embracing their ambition in the development of our business. Our focus is on organic growth. Our lawyers have genuine opportunities for career progression, building their own practice areas and shaping the firm's future with their ideas and vision.
As Bristol's largest law firm, we play a key role in one of the UK's most vibrant business regions, and one which is a springboard for our continuing development as a national and international practice.
