Working Hours at Macpherson Kelley

The flex+ policy is a huge benefit and is taken advantage of by both senior and junior staff.

With the exception of a couple of later nights, I work standard hours. The firm is quite flexible with the hours - if I start early I am able to leave early. If I need to leave the office at the end of the day but have more work to do I can also always log back on later at home.

Very flexible when it comes to working from home.

Dependant on the team! Most teams are very flexible with working from home or amending your hours if you have an appointment etc

The 'reasonable extra hours' in every employment contract is vague. It's rare for grads to be working more than an extra hour per week. Again, will depend on the team and Principal in charge, but by and large it's pretty good.

Very flexible but also considerate we have a life outside of work.

I generally arrive at work at 8:30 and leave at 5:30. Occasionally I will work until 6:30, but this is rare. Everyone is very flexible to allow for you to maintain your commitments outside of work.

Work hours are not too long. There is a good work/life balance and no need to stay back late unless it is necessary or if there is a pressing deadline. My supervisors are flexible with work hours.

Honestly not too bad. Generally I get in at 8:30 and leave by 5:30. Have had the occasional later finish but if I have something on I am more than welcome to leave.

It is not an expectation of the company that you work 10 hour days, as is the culture at other law firms.

Very flexible. Usually arrive at 8.00/8.30am and leave at 5.45pm. Much earlier than many of my peers at different firms.

The firm is flexible as to when you work and for the most part my hours have been very good.

Very flexible. Although, as a junior your workload is dependent on who is providing you work.

Extremely accomodating and felixible hours for all employees with the option to work from home.

Could be better but busy means good in law
