As firms begin to announce how many of their final seat trainees are being given jobs this year, RPC has confirmed an impressive 94% trainee retention rate, while Weil Gotshal & Manges is keeping on 100%.
15 out of RPC's intake of 16 applied for jobs, and all were accepted. The result continues a run of high retention rates for the firm, which only has one intake per year. Last September it retained 13 out of 16 trainees (81%), the year before 12 out of 15 (80%), and in Autumn 2011 all 13 qualifiers were kept on.
RPC Managing Partner Jonathan Watmough said it was "particularly pleasing" to be able to offer positions to everyone who applied, not least because the firm invested "a lot of time and money" turning them from nervous mistake machines into bundling heroes.
Meanwhile, Dentons has improved hugely on last year's 68% rate. This September is is retaining 22 of 26 trainees (85%). And Weil Gotshal & Manges has managed even better, posting a perfect 100%. It is keeping on all eleven of its final seat trainees. They can stand their own celebratory round, since NQ salaries at the firm are an eye-watering £95,500.
