Macfarlanes
Although Macfarlanes may not have offices all over the world, its supportive culture more than makes up for it. You’ll work alongside partners from day one, and the firm actively encourages you to network with everyone. They even host dinners to allow you to meet associates from different teams. You’ll quickly get to know everyone in the firm, and will flourish with such a large support network.
The firm’s size doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on working on high-stakes deals, with the firm boasting Superdry and Virgin as just two of its high-profile clients. The small size even means that you’ll work closer with clients than you would do at larger firms, and will enjoy the satisfaction you feel after listening to and resolving client concerns.
