Burges Salmon - the first choice law firm for clients and staff seeking a real alternative to City firms. We provide national and international clients with a full service across a range of practice areas and industry sectors.
Ranked as a top 50 national law firm and by Hemscott as 11th by number of FTSE100 clients it advises (July 2008), Burges Salmon continues to win prestigious clients out of the hands of its rivals. It positions itself as the first choice firm for clients seeking a real alternative to the City of London, and takes on technically complex work that City firms struggle to handle economically or enthusiastically. Its national and international client base ranges from private individuals to government departments and FTSE100 companies, including the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Orange, The Crown Estate, Nationwide, BNP Paribas, The Ministry of Defence and FirstGroup. Three quarters of its partners are ranked as leaders in their specialist fields, exhibiting individual flare and creativity as the firm encourages all lawyers to shine and be different. The firm is ambitious and works closely with clients, building long-lasting relationships and connecting with your business.
Burges Salmon remains a single-site national firm; the result is a cohesive, communicative environment that allows for stronger working relationships across departments, resulting in an enhanced service for clients. For the third consecutive year, Burges Salmon has been ranked in the top two best UK law firms to work for. Its commitment to responsible business and constructive engagement with its local community has never been greater and its Community Engagement Council oversees the firm’s main areas of involvement: pro bono services; charitable giving; support ‘in kind’; and trusteeships and volunteering. As a founding member of the Legal Sector Alliance, Burges Salmon has published its carbon footprint and leads on encouraging the sector to adopt environmentally sustainable practices.
The firm is always interested in hearing from individuals across all practice areas. Contact Katy Main on 0117 902 7797 or katy.main@burges-salmon.com for further information.
