Macfarlanes LLP

About us

Macfarlanes is a leading City law firm. We are recognised for the quality of our work, not just in dealing with the full range of corporate and commercial matters, but in advising our clients on their private affairs. They trust our judgement and we are in a unique position to advise on their most complex matters, whilst at the same time remaining smaller than our competitors.

As advisers to many of the world’s leading businesses and business leaders, we manage international matters in an effective and seamless manner. We give clients a single point of contact and coordinate advice across all relevant jurisdictions.

In short, we have a formidable and unique combination of expertise and culture; and we rely on remarkable individuals to shape the firm for the future.

Main areas of work

Our main areas of practice are in banking and finance; commercial; competition; corporate and M&A; employment, pensions and benefits; financial services regulatory; investment funds; IP and IT; litigation and dispute resolution; private equity; private client; commercial real estate; restructuring and insolvency; and corporate tax.

Who are we looking for?

We believe the strongest firm is achieved by choosing a mix of people – reflecting different styles so as to meet the needs that we – and our varied range of clients – will have in the future. We look for a rare combination of intellectual curiosity, character and drive. We are looking for ambitious trainees who will thrive on responsibility and challenge and who are ready to begin their careers on day one.

On joining you cannot expect to lose yourself in the crowd. There are fewer of us and you will be expected to play your part. Everyone’s contribution counts.
