More About Burges Salmon

Burges Salmon is proof that law doesn't have to mean London. 

Based in Bristol, our turnover has more than tripled in recent years as we continue to win prestigious clients out of the hands of our City rivals.  Clients such as The Ministry of Defence, Reuters, Orange and Coca Cola HBC rely on our legal expertise and in doing so have helped cement our reputation as creative, lateral thinkers.  But the quality of work we regularly attract would not have come to us were it not for our primary asset – our people.  Our trainees benefit from supervision by lawyers who are leaders in their field with a formidable depth of experience.  All this against the backdrop of Bristol: a city with a quality of life you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the UK.

Burges Salmon provides national and international clients with a full commercial service through 6 main departments: Corporate & Financial Institutions (CFI); Commercial; Property; Tax & Trusts; Commercial Disputes & Construction (CDC); and Agriculture, Property Litigation & Environment (APLE). Specialist areas include: Banking; EU & Competition; Planning; Corporate Finance; Employment; IP & IT; and Transport. The firm is ranked top tier by Chambers and Partners for 15 of its practice areas. Burges Salmon runs 2 open days in February, and offers 40 two-week vacation placements during the summer. Individuals visit 2 departments of their choice supervised by a partner or senior solicitor, and attend court visits and client meetings.  Current trainees run skills training sessions, sports and social events.
