Employment law firm of the year based in Bristol

By Bristol24/7  Monday Dec 6, 2021

The Employment team at independent law firm Burges Salmon won ‘Employment Law Firm of the Year’ at the Personnel Today Awards 2021.

The award, given to the Bristol-headquartered firm, recognises innovation, performance and client service in employment law teams’ work for their HR clients. In making their decision, the judges also considered proactive advice provided for clients as well as their ability to handle live disputes.

The panel found that Burges Salmon’s client-focused response to the pandemic was ‘superb’ and highlighted testimonials from the firm’s clients as clearly showing that the materials produced and the assistance provided by the team helped them navigate the issues that the pandemic created.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

The past 18 months have been incredibly challenging for many employers,” said Adrian Martin, head of Burges Salmon’s Employment team.

“We are delighted that our efforts to support our clients and the wider HR community in what were very difficult times have been recognised in this way. This award is testament to the team’s hard work, resilience and commitment to the excellent client service for which we are known.”
