Law firms have long recognized the value of maintaining strong relationships with former employees, particularly to facilitate future business development.

- The top GCs obtained their law degrees from a wider array of educational institutions.
- The top three law firms by the highest numbers of FTSE 350 GCs are Fresh Fields Bruckhaus Deringer, Clifford Chance and Herbert Smith Freehills
