Steele Raymond LLP—Robert Salame

Steele Raymond LLP welcomes new dispute resolution solicitor & mediator to Bournemouth team
South Coast law firm Steele Raymond LLP is delighted to have appointed a specialist dispute resolution solicitor to its growing team.


Robert Salame joins Steele Raymond as an Associate from a Berkshire-based firm where he led the dispute resolution team and brings a wealth of experience in commercial, employment and general dispute matters.

As an ADR accredited civil and commercial mediator, Robert offers alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services to businesses, business owners and individuals, holding the firm belief that mediation can be a cost-effective and people-focused route to dispute resolution. 

Robert is familiar with the firm and with the Bournemouth coastline, having studied law at Bournemouth University and subsequently completing his 18-month training contract with Steele Raymond in 2015, going on to work in the Dispute Resolution Team for a further two years. 

Speaking on his return, Robert said: “I’m really happy to be back. I can see a lot of good change, both in terms of personnel and the firm’s stature over the past five years, so it is really good to be part of that and to be welcomed back into the Steele Raymond family. One thing that hasn’t changed is the firm’s focus on its ‘people’ – this is what really sets Steele Raymond apart.”

Speaking on Robert’s appointment, Managing Partner Peter Rolph said: “We are really pleased to have Robert back at Steele Raymond. Robert started with us as a placement student before becoming an excellent trainee and his experience with us and then at another firm over the past six years make him a great addition to this growing part of our business.”
