I think with 70% female candidates, it would make sense for trainee cohorts to be split roughly 70-30.However, gender split going 'the other way' would mean that let's say out of 30 male and 70 female trainees the 3 year PQE split could end up 28 male to 12 female. This would imply less than 15% retention of female lawyers.Does that sound accurate? What do you think could be the reasons for such disparity?
