30 Jan 2026 2 min read

We are proud to announce that we have been named the RollOnFriday ‘Best Law Firm to Work At 2026’, marking an unprecedented fifth consecutive year at the top of the rankings.

This year, the firm achieved an impressive 85% score, supported by a particularly strong response rate from our people. The RollOnFriday annual survey invites thousands of UK lawyers and business professionals to rate their satisfaction within their respective firms across career development, leadership and culture, pay, work/life balance and working environment.

Burges Salmon has now consistently topped this survey since 2022, and this year stands as the sole winner, further reinforcing our reputation for fostering an exceptional workplace culture.

“This is fantastic news for the firm. To be named ‘Best Law Firm to Work At’ for the fifth year in a row is an extraordinary achievement and something that has never been achieved before by any firm. We’re incredibly proud of this recognition, which reflects the culture of commitment, support and collaboration that our people work so hard to nurture every single day. Culture is never static; it requires constant care and attention and this result shows just how deeply our shared values run across the firm. My thanks go to everyone who took the time to participate in this year’s survey and for everything they do to make our firm such a great place to work.”

Roger Bull, Managing Partner

This milestone follows a standout year for Burges Salmon in which we were named ‘Law Firm of the Year’ at the Legal Business Awards 2025, recognising our exceptional financial performance, continued investment in clients and people, and our long-term commitment to responsible business and innovation.

“Half a decade of being voted the best law firm to work at really is something. It is a key part of our offering to our people and clients. Our aim is to demonstrate to talented people in this changing legal market that you can be part of successful law firm helping terrific clients with cutting edge legal work and still be in a supportive and hugely enjoyable workplace.”

Ross Fairley, Senior Partner
