Baker McKenzie’s new graduate recruitment principal David Scott, who has taken over from Arron Slocombe, said: “We’re delighted with this year’s spring retention rate, and that again we’ve been able to make a high number of offers to our trainees across departments. We’re always strongly focused on attracting and retaining the very best talent, and on offering a leading and flexible work environment for our people.”
