Being ‘agile and responsive’ for its clients during the pandemic has earned Bristol-headquartered national law firm Burges Salmon’s employment team a prestigious legal award.
The team came first in the Employment Law Firm of the Year category at the Personnel Today Awards 2021. 
The award recognises innovation, performance and client service in employment law teams’ work for their HR clients.
Entries were judged by a distinguished panel of experts drawn from the HR industry who also considered proactive advice provided for clients as well as their ability to handle live disputes.
The panel described Burges Salmon’s client-focused response to the pandemic as ‘superb’ and highlighted testimonials from its clients as clearly showing that the materials produced and the assistance provided by the team helped them navigate the issues that Covid-19 created.
Burges Salmon said winning the award acknowledged its commitment to its clients and for remaining agile and responsive to their needs throughout the pandemic.
Burges Salmon employment team head Adrian Martin said: “The past 18 months have been incredibly challenging for many employers.
“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.”
