Burness Paull testimonial
Peter Lawson, Chair of Burness Paull, about how Chambers rankings and client and market intelligence provide valuable external validation and insight to support the firm’s market positioning and growth.
A leading UK law firm based in Scotland, Burness Paull provides clients with the very best advice wherever it is they do business around the world. It was named UK corporate law firm of the year at the Insider Media UK Dealmakers Awards 2025.
Burness Paull has 41 departments and 106 individual lawyers ranked in the Chambers UK guide 2026. Here’s what Peter Lawson, Chair of Burness Paull, said about the value of being ranked by Chambers:
“The fact that we have extremely experienced, qualified researchers who have researched the market saying that we are a leading firm is important for our clients, for GCs and for other law firms we work with globally because Chambers has got such an excellent reputation. To have external validation through an industry benchmark which is independently confirmed and verified with clients is tremendously valuable when we're going out to the market and pitching for work.”
Alongside their ranking, Burness Paull partnered with Chambers to:
- Understand their position in the market
- Differentiate against competitors
- Optimise their marketing strategy
Here’s what Peter Lawson said about the value of Chambers Client and Market Intelligence:
“The insight report has been extremely helpful because it gives you the raw information which is very instructive. It gave us 360-feedback in terms of people development and that extra layer of what other competitor firms or clients are saying about us. That is very helpful for us and we can use the information to adapt, change the way that we do things or communicate differently with the market.”
