Discover what makes a career at Macfarlanes meaningfully different
We recruit and develop talented people from all backgrounds to become the future of the firm.
We are large enough to take on the most complex mandates for high-profile, high-value clients – often with an international dimension – yet small enough for every individual to be visible and make a real impact. That combination creates an environment that is both stimulating and exciting.
Our working culture combines personal responsibility with collaboration, encouraging our people to think creatively, support one another and deliver outstanding results for clients. This supportive and ambitious approach gives everyone the opportunity to build long-lasting, meaningful careers.
Why Macfarlanes
Personal connection
We build meaningful, lasting relationships – with our clients, colleagues, and other leading international law firms. Our size means we know each other better, so we bring together the right people to work together seamlessly, in a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Entrepreneurial spirit
We rarely take the conventional approach, and bring creativity, commercial insight and energy to everything we do. We embrace innovation to help our clients seize new opportunities.
Commitment to excellence
We are passionate about our work, applying our technical expertise in the delivery of exceptional outcomes for our clients.
What makes Macfarlanes a great place to work is the way we balance excellence with humanity. People are given real responsibility, but also real support – and that combination brings out the best in everyone.
