RPC announces qualifying trainee retention rate for September 2023

Published on 12 July 2023

International law firm RPC will retain 69 per cent of its UK trainees who are due to qualify in September 2023, after 11 of its original cohort of 16 were offered and accepted positions. One trainee withdrew from the process, meaning 73 per cent of those who applied successfully secured roles.

"Our trainees have a unique experience at RPC and receive high-quality training through our comprehensive programme, international and client secondment opportunities and exposure to complex cross-border work," said RPC Partner and Training Principal Parham Kouchikali. "Our remuneration package is attractive, but what sets us apart is our collaborative, supportive and committed culture that values individuals."

The newly qualified lawyers join strategically important, international practices including Commercial, Insurance (Construction, Professional & Financial Risks, Property & Casualty International), IP & Technology, Media, Tax Disputes, Technology & Outsourcing and White Collar Crime & Compliance.

Last year, RPC retained 100% of its UK trainees, with all 14 trainee lawyers remaining at the firm.
