"We're able to provide a partner-led service in a way that other firms would find difficult to maintain economically," says Chris Seaton, partner and chair of the international committee at Burges Salmon.

The firm has a price advantage because it delivers Britain-wide and international services while being headquartered in Bristol, England. Its practice is aligned with key sectors, which include real estate, financial services, transport and logistics, renewable and nuclear energy and international wealth structuring for high-net-worth individuals.

"Our objective is to really understand the business of our clients, and we've been successful because we can deliver in-depth sector experience," Seaton says.

Burges Salmon is involved in big-ticket investment projects as the adviser of the Greater London Authority on the Royal Albert Dock project, the first land regeneration project to be undertaken by Chinese developers in Britain.

The firm counts global investment banks, international technology companies and leading rail and transport operators, such as Eurostar and FirstGroup, among its clients.
