There is a misconception that the type of legal work in a rural firm won’t be as good, the IT systems will be antiquated, the benefits won’t compare, and life will be dull.  A day at McKinstry’s will dispel that myth for sure!


At the McKinstry Company life is never dull.


In a rural firm you are exposed to a wider range of clients with a wider range of challenges. Clients vary from multimillion pound businesses needing corporate advice to individuals needing advice on asset protection. You will run your own files and have direct contact with clients from day 1.
