The firm’s corporate team has also been particularly active in the market, working with leading life sciences and biotech companies including Edinburgh-based Cytomos, Calcivis and Cumulus Oncology and guiding pioneering start-ups LIND and Danu Robotics through their next stage of growth.

Reflecting on the past five years, Roger Bull, managing partner at Burges Salmon, said: “As we continue to see ongoing positive growth across the firm, Edinburgh plays a fundamental part in our success story. Scotland has always had a rich legal heritage, and in the past five years we’ve demonstrated our ability to adapt, innovate and assert ourselves as a frontrunner in what continues to be a competitive market.

“Driven by an ambition to support our clients in Scotland and reaffirm our commitment to the local market, we’re proud of the strong team we’ve built here, who all contribute to, and build upon, the open and inclusive culture we pride ourselves on as a firm.”

Danny Lee, partner in the corporate team and head of the firm’s Edinburgh office, added: “Establishing an office in Scotland meant a lot more to us than just expanding geographically, and we saw it as an opportunity to be part of a vibrant ecosystem. Honing our skills and expertise, we work side by side with our clients, people and communities to support the delivery of projects that are set to benefit future generations in Scotland and further afield.

“We’ve woven ourselves into the fabric of the Scottish legal landscape, and we very much look forward to continuing to nurture relationships, develop homegrown talent and play our part in the community for years to come.”
