Supporting parents at every stage

At McVeagh Fleming, we understand that starting or growing a family is a major life event, and we want to make it as smooth as possible for our people to balance parenthood with a fulfilling legal career.

Our family-friendly parental leave policy applies to all eligible employees, regardless of gender, and includes birth, surrogate, and adoptive parents. Any reference to “partner” includes spouses, same-sex partners, and civil partners. We’re proud to provide topped-up paid parental leave, giving new parents the security to focus on their family during those critical early months, while retaining their career prospects.

Beyond parental leave, McVeagh Fleming offers flexible working options, including part-time arrangements, which are available up to partner level. We believe that supporting our people in this way not only helps them manage their family commitments, but also fosters a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient workplace.

Our approach reflects our broader commitment to wellbeing, inclusion, and career development. By providing policies that allow people to thrive both at work and at home, we aim to build a firm where talent can flourish at every stage of life.
