Interns and undergraduates have rated 16 law firms in their top 100 employers. 

RateMyPlacement, which allows students to rate their undergraduate placements and internships, bases the list on more than 7,000 student reviews. The 16 firms are: Pinsent Masons (7), Nabarro (9), Linklaters (13), Baker & McKenzie (14), CMS Cameron McKenna LLP (25), Hogan Lovells (29), Herbert Smith Freehills (41), Simmons & Simmons LLP (46), Taylor Wessing (52), Shoosmiths (53), Mayer Brown International LLP (64), Stephenson Harwood (90), Weil, Gotshal & Manges (92), Walker Morris (93) and Allen & Overy (94). 

Firms were rated according to criteria such as the amount of responsibility given, whether they felt valued by colleagues, training and development opportunities, and transferable skills gained. Opportunities to socialise with others, the cost of living in the area and company location were also taken into account.
