Confidence of Being Kept on
The ultimate goal of a training contract is to qualify as a solicitor. A firm should endeavour to keep as many of its trainees as possible once they have qualified, especially after spending thousands of pounds training them up in a specific way. For reasons such as budget or departmental constraints, a 100% retention score is not always possible. When researching firms you would be wise to keep an eye on the last few years’ retention rates. At these Future Lawyers Winner firms some trainees will have already been offered NQ positions whilst others are confident that a job offer is coming their way.
