Hi! I currently have two offers for CMS and Travers Smith and I’m having a really hard time deciding between the two. I would like to know people’s thoughts and what they would choose. I really want to go on international secondment.
If an international secondment is a priority, then CMS only send 5% of their trainees on secondment while Travers Smith seems to be 0% - based on what Legal Cheek mention anyway:


However, Chambers Student Guide says there is 1 secondment to Paris for Travers Smith - https://www.chambersstudent.co.uk/travers-smith/true-picture/424/1
