I think it would be to make sure that
this firms for you I think it's good to
get a broad range of experience
before you join Burges Salmon
because law firms are very different
London law firms are very different to
Bristol law firms in many ways in
terms of how people work and the
sort of work that you do by and large
and so I think the first thing I
would definitely say try to get as much
experience as you can before you join
the firm and I'd research the
firm as much as you can I don't think you
can ever do too much research and the firm
Burges Salmon have got a great website with
lots of information on there so I'd
definitely just read into the firm
as much as possible before you come
just so you are aware of what we're
about and what we stand for and the sort of
work that we do
I would definitely recommend Burges Salmon
for anybody who's looking for a
training contract we're a serious
contender if what you want to do is
interesting high-level commercial work
but you don't like the idea of the city lifestyle
Bristol is a fantastic place to live
and we can offer all the
benefits of the high-quality work that
your contemporaries in London will get
I'd definitely recommend Burges Salmon
to a friend I think it's a great place
to work everyone is so friendly the
cultures really really good and you feel
like you're being really well trained
and supported and you're doing such a
good range of interesting work that's always
very varied there's always something new to
do when you arrive in the office every
morning and the people that you're
working alongside they're what really
makes it I think and it's such a good
culture everyone just works together
really well and it's really friendly
so it's a good place to be
I would recommend the firm because I know
that they will be part of a
collaborative working environment and a
culture that values each individual and
each person within the team and what
that person brings to the table
everyone here is so friendly and
welcoming and encouraging and I don't
think I quite expected that from a law
firm when I started even having been
through vacation schemes and
assessment days and things you sort of
still have this reservation that
oh it's a big scary law firm it's gonna
be terrifying but it's not and it was
almost a bit disarming at first
wait why is everyone so nice
