Eversheds and Clyde & Co have become the latest UK top 50 firms to confirm their autumn trainee retention rates for 2013, following a clutch of announcements in recent weeks.

Eversheds is keeping on 84% of its newly qualified (NQ) lawyers this autumn after offering 40 of its 45 qualifiers a role at the firm, with 38 accepting. The percentage is flat on last autumn’s round, when the firm retained the same proportion of NQs.
