Norton Rose Fulbright has announced a decent 81% retention rate for trainees qualifying this Spring, though in a strong year the result puts it near the bottom of the current table.

The firm made offers to 21 of its 26 Spring qualifiers, all of whom accepted. Two of the five who were not made offers had already decided to leave the firm. The result is down slightly on last Spring, when the firm retained 24 out of 26 trainees (92%), though training principal Michael Black focussed on being "delighted" at the 100% acceptance rate.

Orrick will be even more delighted. Having failed magnificently to keep on the single trainee who qualified last Spring, and none in the September 2014 cohort, it has managed to retain all four of its Spring qualifiers.

Good to see that the last line of the text matches the first line of the table... the kind of strong attention to detail and proof reading which the partner's of tomorrow dearly need...

Erm, it does match. People in glasshouses and all that? Congratulations on having incorporated a grocer's apostrophe as your final flourish.
