HSF records 93% trainee retention score

A lot of students/juniors on here are weirdly culty when it comes to law firms – it feels like they view firms as if they’re football teams or video game characters, and weigh up anecdotal aggregated views of anonymous juniors as if they can determine which firm “wins” against another, then rush to disparage when someone else has a different opinion as to which firm they want to work for – hence their downvotes on your comment at the time of me commenting.

Having said that, I really enjoy working for HSF – they’re not absolute market-leaders in any of the criteria you mention, but they are right up there when judged against competitor firms (bar the megabucks US firms on pay), and as an overall package I don’t think I could find a better deal anywhere else while still being paid similarly.
