"The obvious attractions to Macfarlanes include its esteemed reputation, its impressive client list and the quality of work that the lawyers at Macfarlanes do. However, the key selling point of the firm is its people. So often during the milkrounds law firms tried to sell themselves on the basis of ‘their people’ and at Macfarlanes this statement was truly justified; alongside being clearly intelligent and excellent lawyers, everyone was also extremely friendly, helpful and light-hearted."
