Areas of expertise

Sector focus

Office

“I instructed Burges Salmon’s family team having worked with the firm for many years [since 2007]. I wanted lawyers who I knew I could trust and had the same pragmatic approach, were human and commercial. They were just that. Whilst the litigation was gruelling, the team continuously tried to find a resolution. I was, and felt, supported by a formidable team. Furthermore, their advice and approach led to an outcome that we could not have even envisaged at the outset (to my benefit).”
