November 2002 - Present

Macfarlanes is a distinctive law firm with a straightforward, independently-minded approach. The driving force behind the firm is an absolute commitment to delivering the right advice in the right way to our clients. We understand that clients face mounting complexity and time pressure. Our lawyers use their experience to deliver clear, concise advice. The firm’s partners get involved, stay involved, and with the support of tight knit teams, advise on the most critical matters with clarity and confidence. Then there’s the size of our firm. We’ve kept things simple. We’ve decided against growth at the expense of quality, against size at the expense of efficiency and agility. So whilst we’re large enough to advise on the most complex matters, we’re also small enough to ensure that our people and our work are exceptional, without fail. International Much of the firm’s work is international, advising both overseas based and UK clients on multijurisdictional projects. The firm’s international strategy is founded on its independence and is driven by the firm’s excellent relationships with leading independent law firms outside the UK. Macfarlanes takes a “client first” approach to international work, this means their clients get the best advice from the best lawyer - irrespective of the jurisdiction they are working in, or where they are based. Recruitment – Exceptional lawyers. Without exception. Macfarlanes offers a stimulating workplace and pathways to rewarding careers. Its lawyers are of the absolute highest technical ability, many of whom are leaders in their chosen fields. It recruits around 30 graduates each year with the expectation that they will stay with the firm. Many of them do, creating a stable partnership of extraordinary quality. There is no Macfarlanes “type”; individual personalities and flair are welcomed and encouraged. Follow us on Twitter: @MacfarlanesLLP, @MacfarlanesTax, @MacfarlanesEmp, @MacfarlanesGrad
