Founded in Bristol in 1841, Burges Salmon’s roots go back through the history of Bristol’s legal profession and public institutions.
That long-standing connection is reflected in the firm today. Bristol is our headquarters and the centre of our operations. From our office at One Glass Wharf, in the Temple Quarter, we advise clients both across the UK and internationally.
Over the decades, we have grown into a leading independent UK law firm, building particular strength in:
- Transport
- Infrastructure
- Energy
- Real estate
- Private wealth
Our work also continues to support Bristol-based projects and organisations, ranging from major developments and transport initiatives to helping local businesses to succeed.
This combination of local roots and national reach is central to our firm’s identity. Our clients benefit from a Bristol law firm that’s experienced its history, its economy and its future direction – while offering the scale, expertise and sector knowledge expected of a top-tier UK law firm.
