Burness Paull is a top tier commercial law firm supporting clients across Scotland, the UK and internationally. Two things make us tick: delivering results and being easy to deal with. Being an independent firm is important to us because it gives us the license to support our clients and our people in ways that they genuinely value. Our clients want and, from us, they get the very best legal advice, but they also want that advice delivered by people with their feet on the ground who understand the context in which their recommendations are being applied. For our people, it means a culture in which they can be themselves and perform at their best. An environment where genuine advice and relationships are championed. It sounds like a pretty simple recipe, but striking that balance of human and high-performing is very demanding and we work incredibly hard to maintain it. 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. If you think all lawyers are cut from the same pin-striped cloth, you haven’t worked with Burness Paull.
