Develop your sector knowledge Sector expertise is at the heart of how we work at Burges Salmon. Our lawyers combine outstanding legal advice with a deep understanding of the industries in which our clients operate.

We can make bespoke adjustments to assessments, interviews, and other stages to ensure you have an equal opportunity to excel in our recruitment process. Applicants with a disability who meet our minimum scoring criteria will be offered a place at one of our assessment centres.

  • your studies
  • work experience or employment
  • extracurricular activities
  • personal interests or experiences
    • What matters is that you can demonstrate:
  • a genuine interest in your chosen sector
  • an understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing that sector
