The new space comprises a range of agile work areas, internal meeting space and collaboration sections that are tech-enabled to support hybrid working and will help the firm accommodate the growth of its team in Scotland. The firm has also invested in a range of planting and greenery in the new office space to support people’s wellbeing.

Roger Bull, Burges Salmon’s managing partner, said: “Our decision to open an office in Edinburgh in 2019 was all about recognising and responding to the needs of our clients, and was (and remains) closely aligned with our key sector strategy. Over the past three years, we have achieved a number of significant milestones – in terms of both the recruitment of fantastic new team members and client successes. During the past 12 months in particular, our presence in Scotland has continued to grow strongly and we now boast a 45-strong team based in our Edinburgh office.

“This exciting office expansion will support our future growth and for it to come only three years after opening in Scotland is testament to the hard work of all those involved in making our Edinburgh office such a success.”

The past year has seen a number of client successes for Burges Salmon’s Edinburgh team, which has advised on significant transactions across a range of sectors. The firm has also maintained or forged new partnerships with institutions including rewilding, reforestation and carbon-offsetting organisation, Trees for Life, and Edinburgh Zoo’s public art event, Giraffe About Town.
