Working at Burges Salmon

A career as a lawyer with Burges Salmon offers the perfect balance between professional success and personal fulfillment. Working for one of the UK's leading commercial law firms, our lawyers are constantly engaged in the highest quality work in this country and overseas. Then there's our Bristol location which ensures a quality of life unrivalled elsewhere in the UK.

Burges Salmon is a business whose key resource is its people. Like any other business, its market is constantly changing and to remain successful the firm and its lawyers must constantly evolve. We appreciate that lawyers need to understand the environment within which they are working, including the firm's expectations of them and the rewards that are on offer as their careers continue to develop.

NEWS UPDATE: Legal Week's annual Employee Satisfaction Survey places Burges Salmon in the top four national law practices for the high levels of job satisfaction its employees enjoy. Legal Week's annual survey, designed to identify the UK's 'Best Legal Employer', saw us perform well across a range of categories including high scores for the quality of our client portfolio and the level of interaction we have with them. Openness regarding career opportunities and co-operation between team members were also acknowledged by employees as being integral to the firm's culture. Plus, the office environment across both our Bristol and London offices was recognised as being first-class. Further information can be found on the Burges Salmon news page.
