Years Of Litigation Experience
OF MACARTHUR’S ONLY COMMERCIAL LITIGATION ACCREDITED SPECIALISTS
you are going to want the best and most effective lawyer at your side as your trusted adviser and advocate. That doesn’t mean a lawyer from the biggest law firm you can find or the most expensive one, because merely being affiliated with a large firm is not a guarantee of quality. It means someone who is recognised by the Law Society of NSW, colleagues, and clients as an expert in their field, with a proven track record of getting winning outcomes and justice for clients. It means someone whose career has been dedicated to litigation, who can give you timely, clear, and honest advice, followed up by a strategic action plan designed to achieve the objectives you have outlined, irrespective of the complexity of the matter.

Client focused, the core objective at Macfarlane Law in addition to achieving exceptional outcomes is to provide a better client experience. As the Principal of Macfarlane Law, I’m so confident that this will be achieved that I guarantee it. I can’t guarantee outcomes (and, sensibly, have never met a lawyer who says they can in litigation), but the quality of the Macfarlane Law service is something I can guarantee upfront. If you think the quality of service didn’t match what was agreed, let me know and tell me how you think that should be reflected in the price you pay. Ask any other lawyer you’re considering if he or she will do the same. Spoiler alert: they won’t, so you should ask yourself why not.
Enough about Macfarlane Law. Experienced lawyers listen more than they talk. I’d love to hear what brought you to the website and if there’s an issue I can help you with.

Outstanding Lawyer – Truly the Best in Sydney I had the privilege of being represented by Ms Emma Macfarlane – an exceptional lawyer whose professionalism, dedication, and legal expertise far exceeded my expectations. From our very first meeting, Emma demonstrated an extraordinary level of patience, compassion, and passion for her work. She truly cared about me and was deeply committed to helping me through an incredibly challenging time. Emma guided me through every step of the legal process, explaining each stage in detail and ensuring I was thoroughly prepared for what lay ahead. No question was too small or insignificant — her responses were always prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She never made me feel like a burden and consistently responded promptly and thoroughly not only to my emails but also to my text messages and phone calls—particularly when matters were time-sensitive. What truly sets Emma apart is her strategic thinking and sharp legal instincts. She went beyond the information I initially provided, proactively requesting documents from the opposing party, conducting in-depth research, and identifying key details to strengthen my case. Emma consistently stayed one step ahead, anticipating the opposing counsel’s tactics and crafting an effective strategy in advance. This gave me a strong sense of confidence and security throughout the entire process. Emma handled all court submissions with absolute precision and professionalism. She engaged firmly and effectively with the opposing counsel, doing everything in her power to secure the best possible outcome. Her preparation and dedication were incredible, second to none. During the two-day hearing, Emma was by my side from start to finish. She arrived at court early and offered last-minute advice and reassurance. Her calm presence and steady guidance helped ease my nerves and gave me the confidence and support I needed. Her cross-examination skills were particularly impressive and played a crucial role in strengthening my position. Emma remained fully focused and committed throughout the hearing, not even stepping away for a coffee but staying energized and attentive with a quick snack she had brought with her. Her dedication and professionalism were truly remarkable. Awaiting the court’s decision, I have every confidence in Emma’s abilities and the case she has built. Regardless of the outcome, I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done. She is, without a doubt, the best lawyer in Sydney, and I genuinely believe no one else could have achieved a better result for me. I truly hope that anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed and in need of legal help — as I once was — is lucky enough to have Emma by their side.
