Travers Smith has joined the growing number of law firms revealing their spring 2022 retention scores.

The silver circle player this week confirmed it will retain five of its seven final seat trainees — or 71%. All are on permanent deals.

The five-strong cohort will be qualifying into the firm’s commercial; corporate M&A and equity capital markets; dispute resolution; financial services & markets; and real estate practices.
