Does Dechert have arbitration practice in the London office? I remember speaking to their grad rec last year and they said that they didn't have a team for one of the practices I was interested in. I cant remember if it was arbitration for sure.

I noticed that Sidley only retained 8 out of 14 trainees in 2023. Does anyone know why? 60% seems pretty low...

Doesn't surprise me tbf. I was mocked by my interviewer for my pronunciation lol Jokes aside, I think that's the case with most US firms because they don't normally have many NQs spots available, especially if the majority of trainees wants to qualify in the same practice area.

Exactly, why bother saying that they’re rolling basis but in the reality it’s just non-rolling lol
