It's great to see Edwin Coe featured in The Lawyer's latest trainee retention analysis and recognised as the only firm in the survey to have retained all of its qualifying trainees.

While retention statistics only tell part of the story, they can provide a useful insight into a firm's culture and the experience of those starting their careers there.

At Edwin Coe, we invest significant time and effort into supporting our trainees, not only through the quality of work they experience, but also through mentoring, learning opportunities and exposure to clients and colleagues across the firm. We want trainees to feel valued, challenged and supported as they develop into the next generation of lawyers.

Our retention rate is something we're particularly proud of because it reflects the commitment of our trainees and the collaborative culture that they help shape. It also demonstrates the opportunities available to those who choose to build their careers with us.

As the legal profession continues to evolve, attracting and retaining talented people remains one of the most important measures of a firm's long-term success. We're pleased that our trainees see Edwin Coe as a place where they can continue their professional journey.

For anyone considering a career in law, applications for our 2027 Summer Vacation Scheme open on 2 November 2026.
