At Macfarlanes, the Disputes team handles high-value, complex cases across a wide range of areas, from commercial and partnership disputes to fraud, regulatory investigations and even arbitration on the international stage. Whether its building a compelling case strategy, cross-examining witnesses, analysing vast amounts of evidence or advising clients under intense pressure, Dispute lawyers need sharp analytical skills and the ability to think on their feet. Join a Partner, Associate and Trainee as they discuss what life as a Disputes lawyer really looks like and how you can get your hands on experience with real cases early in your career.
Key themes
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.
