Linklaters retains 80 per cent of September NQs

It is quite usual for a handful of trainees to decide themselves that they won't stay on. Same happens at my firm most years and happened when I qualified too. People just decide to do other things, move abroad, whatever. Some just aren't cut out for this job. No disgrace in that, but nothing sinister either (and certainly no need for embarassing suggestions of bullying). If anything, 3 is a surprisingly small number - it might arguably be higher, not lower, in a more buoyant market.
