Dentons' NQ retention rates plunges to 14 per cent

Good God. 14% is just ridiculous even overlooking the fact we’re talking about Real Estate. If DWS’s recruitment/training process is so poor that 86% of its end products must be released then they’ve got serious issues. If, as is more likely to be the case, they’ve got top quality young solicitors who are vying for places in a department which the recession has hit hardest, then they should try and accommodate them wherever possible, in a different department if necessary (I assume that many of those shown the door would have considered a job elsewhere). DWS are shedding potentially great lawyers for the future and posting statistics like this will also put off future quality applicants.
