Welcome

Admired for our measured and profitable growth, Burges Salmon is built on progressive thinking and a genuine lockstep partnership.

Our growth has been primarily organic, but we also have a highly successful track record of integrating lateral Partners. The partner profiles section of this site gives an insight into the background and motivation of some of our Partners, both lateral and home grown.

We are looking for candidates who are, or who aspire to be, leaders in their field. Lawyers who understand their clients and what drives their business and can demonstrate this with excellent client relationships. We will want to see evidence of what you can bring to the firm and in return you will be rewarded with the opportunity and support to develop and the chance to work with our high quality client base.

We can offer a collegiate, supportive working environment where you will be surrounded by like-minded, ambitious professionals. In fact, a higher proportion of our partners are rated as leaders in their field by Chambers and Partners Legal Directory than any of our direct rivals – in 2010 86% achieved this accolade.

These are exciting times for Burges Salmon. Our Partnership encourages entrepreneurialism and we are looking for talent and ambition, rather than specific practice areas/roles. We want you to tell us how you can help grow our business.

We understand that making a move is a big decision and, initially, you might prefer to test the waters rather than make a formal approach. Please see the how to apply section of this site for more information on the different ways you can get in touch with us.
