CAREERS

By embarking upon her career at top City law firm Clifford Chance, then moving to South West stalwart Burges Salmon, Antonia Shield had come to expect something out of the ordinary from her employers.

“Working for an international and then a national firm meant I was used to handling high quality work and working for blue chip clients. When it came to moving on I was keen to join a firm that could offer the same standard of work - I definitely wasn’t looking to go into a backwater regional practice,” said keen traveller, Antonia.

“In BPE I have found an excellent match. The firm’s commercial focus attracts nationally renowned clients that generate a stream of varied and complex work. Many of my colleagues have also come from prominent global and nationwide firms and the whole practice is geared towards delivering an exceptional service to maintain client relationships and cultivate new ones.”

“The workplace is full of team spirit and there is a real camaraderie among the partners. Such an enthusiastic environment breeds success and my selection as Commercial Property Adviser of the Year in the South West Commercial Property Awards is testament to this.”
