Edinburgh, United Kingdom Burges Salmon Full time
Solicitor

Burges Salmon. We're more than a law firm. We're a place where you can be more of everything.

Exposure to high-profile clients and partners is just the start. With us, you'll reap the rewards of enjoying responsibility from day one. So if you're looking to work at a fresh-thinking firm that's blazing a trail with industry-leading insight, it's time to take the leap.

The Team

The firm's market-leading planning and compulsory purchase lawyers provide strategic advice to clients across a range of industry sectors and are “Top nationally rated individuals...offering excellent value to clients” (L500, 2023). The team is recognised as Tier 1 in the legal directories and operates at the top level of the legal market, delivering planning and CPO advice to clients in the private and public sectors across the UK. We are involved in the entire development process – from devising consenting strategy to project delivery and everything in between.

This could be your chance to 'rise with the tide', becoming a key player within an established team that offers top quality UK wide work within a top tier law firm.
