Linklaters, Wragge & Co and Travers Smith are among a cluster of firms to have released their March retention rates, with Wragges and Travers both taking on 100% of their newly qualified (NQ) lawyers.

All six of Wragges trainees were offered places at the firm – an increase on last year when five of the seven NQs were given posts. Travers, meanwhile, retained all four NQs completing their training, with the firm also having a 100% retention rate in 2011.
