Meet the host

Burges Salmon

Burges Salmon is an ambitious, sustainable and inclusive firm that ensures its clients, people and wider communities flourish. We believe it is our people that make the firm great. Our values of ambition, collaboration, commitment, fairness, quality and respect shape our distinctive culture and are evident across the firm.

The firm has recently been named the RollOnFriday ‘Best Law Firm to Work at 2024’, for the third year in a row.

At Burges Salmon, you don’t have to choose between top quality work and quality of life, high profile clients or first-class training – you can have it all. Most law firms will give you a four seat rotation. But here, that’s just a drop in the ocean. Start your career in law with us, and you’ll explore six rotations. This means more exposure to different types of law, and more opportunities to make an impact when you qualify.

Based in Bristol and Edinburgh – two of the top places to live and work in the UK – we’re an independent law firm with an enviable range of national and international clients. Energised by our collaborative culture, cutting-edge training and inspiring colleagues, you’re guaranteed to make a splash as you gain quality experience across a broad range of legal practices.

The quality of our expertise is widely recognised across our main departments including Corporate & Financial Institutions, Dispute Resolution, Planning, Construction & Engineering, Projects, Real Estate and Private Client. The key sectors in which we operate are energy, power & utilities, financial services, infrastructure, private wealth, public sector, built environment and transport. Our clients include organisations such as The John Lewis Partnership, The Financial Services Compensation Scheme, FirstGroup, HSBC Bank plc, Virgin, Costain Group, The Crown Commercial Service, Babcock International Group and Highways England.
