Firm Increases Newly Qualified Retention Rate Nationally To 96%

Law firm Irwin Mitchell has revealed its latest retention figures for trainees resulting in seven newly-qualified (NQ) solicitors being appointed in its Sheffield office.

In the Business Legal Services team in Sheffield, Chloe Eyre (Litigation) along with George Cohen, Erica Snellgrove and Anastasija Kozlova (Real Estate) will qualify into the firm in September after completing their training.

In the firm’s Personal Legal Services division in Sheffield Kerry Wagner (Court of Protection), Edward Allan (Family) and Stacey Hanson (Medical Negligence) will qualify this year.

Nationally, 45 out of 47 of trainees will stay on at the firm as newly-qualified solicitors. This translates to a 96% retention rate which is higher than last year’s 83% figure.

Marissa Sanders, Head of Early Careers at Irwin Mitchell, said: “This year’s newly qualified retention rate of 96% is an outstanding achievement reflecting both the calibre of our trainees and the training and support they receive in the business.”

At the start of May, Irwin Mitchell promoted eight people to Partner level in its latest promotion round.
