A growing number of City law firms are now offering in-house pupillages, providing aspiring barristers with an alternative to chambers-based training.
Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP, Irwin Mitchell LLP and Dentons have all announced high autumn retention rates, for both their trainee and solicitor apprenticeship cohorts.
Macfarlanes LLP, HFW and Bird & Bird become the latest City law firms to increase the salaries of their newly qualified (NQ) solicitors as the so-called ‘NQ pay war’ continues.
Over the past few weeks law firms Hogan Lovells, Clyde & Co and Baker McKenzie have released their autumn qualifying trainee retention rates.
City law firms continue to see robust financial growth, with Clifford Chance reporting its best financial performance for seven years, and Macfarlanes LLP and Mills & Reeve LLP experiencing notable increases in turnover.
