BEING GAY, WORKING HERE
ANNE POOLE, Senior Associate
‘When I started my working life I was not open about my sexual orientation, which led to far too many guarded conversations. On joining Burges Salmon, I was able to break that habit. Knowing the firm supports diversity helps me to be at ease in a supportive working environment and contribute fully.’

WHO WE ARE
A leading law firm with global reach, working across the full breadth of major practice areas.
MORE ABOUT US
Burges Salmon is one of the UK’s leading commercial law firms. Our turnover has increased significantly over the past decade as we continue to win prestigious clients out of the hands of our national rivals. Clients such as The Crown Estate, HSBC, Lloyds Banking group, The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and FirstGroup rely on our legal expertise, and in doing so have helped cement our reputation as creative, lateral thinkers. But the quality of work we regularly attract would not have come to us were it not for our primary asset – our people.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Motivated individuals with a desire to succeed and offer a first-class service to our clients. Candidates must be commercially aware and have excellent communication skills. As part of our commitment to diversity, we are members of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme. We recognise the benefits of having a diverse workforce and welcome applications from the widest pool of suitably qualified candidates. Together with other local law firms, we set up an LGB network for people working in the legal sector: visit the BYlaw website.
