Burges Salmon, the Bristol-headquartered national law firm, has won awards recognising its innovation in the fintech market and the successful firm-wide roll-out of a learning management platform.
The firm was named as the UK’s Best FinTech Law Firm in Wealth & Finance International magazine’s 2021 FinTech Awards while it also landed Gold in the Best Advance in Learning Technology Implementation category of the Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Learning Awards 2021. 
Wealth & Finance International’s FinTech Awards were launched five years ago to showcase firms that are redefining finance and banking for the modern age and for the ever-changing modern consumer.
Burges Salmon’s award recognises its fintech team’s role in innovating in the market and supporting clients to achieve their commercial goals as well as its experience working with domestic clients and with international businesses looking to enter the UK or develop their UK proposition.
Burges Salmon head of fintech Martin Cook said: “This fantastic recognition is testament to the hard work of our fintech team, who provide our clients with exceptional service day-in-day-out on the full range of support demanded by fintechs and by established financial institutions on their technology and digital transformation journey.”
Wealth & Finance International, published by AI Global Media, is a quarterly title dedicated to delivering high-quality informative and up-to-the-minute global business content. 
The Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Learning Award, which Burges Salmon won in conjunction with Italian software-as-a-service learning management system Docebo, celebrated its introduction of LAB (Learning at Burges Salmon) – a learning management platform to support its ongoing learning needs.
LAB offers goals/objectives, design and delivery, change management efforts, future plans and measurable benefits to the firm’s 800-plus employees.
Burges Salmon chief people officer Robert Halton said: “This award win is fantastic news for the firm and is a great reflection of the work that the whole team has done in the area of digital learning and development.
“I’m delighted for everyone who has played their part in the implementation of this platform and it’s particularly pleasing to have received this recognition for their work during such an unprecedented and challenging period and builds on our Platinum Investors in People status.”
The Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards champion organisations that went above and beyond to support their stakeholders during the unprecedented disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic.
