I've personally not had any experience with Macfarlanes, haven't applied to them before, so I don't know a phenomenal amount about them in terms of really specific information. Suffice to say, based on my knowledge, you're pretty much on point with most of your analysis. Purely speaking on numbers, Macfarlanes PEP is a bit higher than Travers; Travers' NQ basic salary is a bit higher than Macs and I think Travers have a slightly more generous bonus structure too. Travers score higher than Macs on several metrics according to Legal Cheek's 'insider reports', Travers' have a higher trainee retention rate and outperform Macs on several diversity metrics. In terms of practice areas, Travers' disputes team is still growing at a rate of knots and Travers' outperform Macs on PE work as far as I know. Travers has long since cut off private client work as it was much less profitable but required a lot of man-hours. For me, as someone interested in PE work, Travers was a more obvious choice than Macs. I also like the smaller trainee intake and office-share structure, among other elements. They're both, however, great firms which are very highly-respected and provide excellent opportunities. Hope this helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
