I have been given the opportunity to grow my practice with ease since joining the firm. The tie downs of a traditional firm are non-existent at McCarthy Denning, meaning I am free to work when and how to my choosing. What is more, my colleagues across the firm’s practice areas are renowned for their expertise and wealth of experience, so I know I’ll have the best resources to hand, should my clients need further advice beyond my skillset.

My experience as a litigator of the work environment at McCarthy Denning is of being surrounded and supported by practitioners who are at the top of their game, confident, extremely well-connected and, above all, enjoying themselves. Everyone here is a delight to work with and very generous with their time and ideas. The absence of office politics and generally mellow atmosphere is a product of the business model but also very much down to the personalities in this firm and the fact that we enjoy socialising with each other regularly.

The support structures work very well. They have to, since the firm is growing all the time and there is rich seam of business development ideas that is being mined amongst members of the firm and outside advisers. These often involve social media. The marketing of the firm is in truth fairly easy because of the pedigree of its members and because the transactional and litigation projects it handles are often high-profile and/or unusual and interesting to the general public.

It is an intriguing and exciting time to be in the firm.
