Pinsent Masons and Nabarro have been voted among the top 10 undergraduate employers in the UK as new research shows that law firms offer some of the best experiences for students on internships or placements.
Pinsents, which came in 7th place, and Nabarro, which came in 9th, were amongst 16 law firms ranked in the top 100 employers after an analysis of over 7,000 student reviews.
Students judged the firms on criteria such as the amount of responsibility given, whether they felt valued by colleagues, training and development opportunities and transferable skills gained.
Other high-placed firms in the survey included Linklaters (13), Baker & McKenzie (14), and CMS Cameron McKenna (25).
Jennifer Cook, graduate recruitment manager at Linklaters, said: "We work hard to provide a valuable experience to young people undertaking internships which is the start of their professional development with the firm. It is great to see this reflected in the reviews and feedback we receive."
Fellow magic circle firm Allen & Overy came in at number 94.
Of the 12 sectors featured in the survey by jobs website RateMyPlacement.co.uk, legal was ranked second highest.
The number of undergraduate opportunities offered by law firms was found to be above average compared to other industries, the study found, with more than 1,800 offered UK-wide compared to fewer than 500 in areas such as insurance and asset management.
The research also found that the average intake of students into short term placements of between one day and three weeks was 88 in 2013-14, up from 57 the year before, a rise of more than 54%.
A noteable advancement in training opportunities came earlier this year when firms including Addleshaw Goddard, Mayer Brown, Eversheds and Simmons & Simmons, along with in-house teams from Barclays and RBS, helped set up Trailblazers Apprenticeship in Law initiative, a scheme intended to provide those without a university education a route into qualifying as a solicitor.
