How to Find Solicitors in Sevenoaks
Leading firms in England and Wales retained 79% of their trainees once they had qualified in 2012, new figures reveal.
The Chambers Student guide surveyed 123 mostly commercial firms and found that 2,074 out of 2,620 trainees remained at their first firm.
The figure was a slight drop on 2011 levels but came during a year when the total number of qualifiers rose by 16% as those who had deferred their training during the 2009 recession finally completed the course.
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Linklaters have announced broadly flat headline financials for 2011-12, with the figures showing that Clifford Chance has increased its turnover lead on its magic circle rivals.

Last week’s report by the Law Society on pro bono activity by solicitors was a real credit to the profession.

Firms’ finances will come under close scrutiny, serious new competitors will emerge, and lawyers will be moving firms in ever greater numbers. And there is, of course, huge concern about the future provision of legal aid.
