    Macfarlanes said they will update the earlier end of this month. I emailed them. Why are people hiding their vi invite from bakers? Transparency goes a long way when it’s a firm many have applied to and are waiting for an outcome from.

    ...You can certainly weave in firm-specific interests where they are genuinely relevant, but I would avoid trying to force "why Macfarlanes" into every role as it might feel unnatural.
