DWF "doubles" trainee programme over the past two years
With 95 trainees currently across DWF’s offices, the firm is dedicated to investing in the programme to develop and progress talent through the business. With year-on-year growth, the number of trainees at the firm has increased by 187% over the past five years.
For those that will qualify in October 2013, the firm has announced a 70% retention rate (32 out of 46 trainee solicitors were offered and accepted a newly-qualified position).
Carl Graham, training principal and partner at DWF, says: “Following the mergers over the last year, and the acquisition of Cobbetts, we have seen a significant rise in the number of trainees qualifying with the firm, and we are proud of the fact we’ve achieved such a high retention rate this year.
