Overview

Burness Paull LLP is a leading independent law firm based in Scotland, advising clients across the UK and internationally. It is well known for its strengths in corporate law, real estate, banking, funds, dispute resolution, employment and energy.

The firm employs more than 670 people across its offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen [1]

Burness Paull was established as a result of the merger between Burness and Paull & Williamsons in 2012.[2] The combined turnover of the two firms at the time of the merger was £37 million.

In its results for the 2022/23 financial year, Burness Paull reported turnover of £83.2 million and profit of £35.5 million,[3] making it one of the largest law firms in Scotland.

The firm enjoys multiple top-tier rankings for both individuals and practice areas in the Chambers[4] and Legal 500 legal directories.[5]

The firm has topped the Business Insider deals table for legal advisers for six consecutive years[6] and was named Legal Adviser of the Year at the 2021 Scottish Business Insider Deals & Dealmakers Awards.[7]

In 2021, Burness Paull became the first accredited “menopause-friendly” employer in Scotland – as well as becoming the first law firm in the UK to achieve the status.[8]

Leadership

The firm is currently led by Tamar Tammes, managing partner, and Peter Lawson, chair. Both trained at the firm and were elected to their leadership positions in 2018.[9]

Tammes was named managing partner of the year at the Scottish Legal Awards in 2022.[10]
