Two things make us tick: delivering results and being easy to deal with.
From tech to private equity our clients are among the most exciting UK and international corporates, but we never assume any entitlement to the next deal.
We win awards, but our clients are the judges that count. They provide the insight that allows us to innovate and rapidly respond to the changing needs of their world.
One theme dominates their feedback above all others - the balance we strike between high performance and how easy we are to work with.
"Talented, friendly and unpretentious."
Comments like this tell us we're on the right track.
We tell our people to be themselves. To be brave. To voice an opinion. It might feel uncomfortable at times, but it's not nearly as uncomfortable as sitting on the fence.
Last year we completed more than 300 local and global deals with an aggregate value in excess of ?30bn. But while 60% of our business is international we're 100% independent - with the freedom to shape the service we provide exactly the way clients want it.
Going beyond great legal advice, we know our markets and sectors intimately and support clients' ambitions across 80 different jurisdictions.
If you think all lawyers are cut from the same pin-striped cloth, you haven't worked with Burness Paull.
