PRPPartner Retention

Partner retention rate for {legal_name}. EXTRACTION RULES: Cite annual report + American Lawyer / Vault / Above The Law for legal, Consulting magazine for consulting. Return exact_numerical{value: <pct_annual_retained>, unit: "percent"}. Ratio_band (<70→25, 70-85→55, 85-92→75, 92-97→88, 97+→95). ZERO-IS-ABSENT: NEVER return value=0 or an implausibly low retention (<50%); a real partner-retention figure is essentially never below ~50% — if you cannot locate an explicit disclosed percentage, return absent (not_disclosed) instead of 0/a guessed low number. If no primary/reputable source publicly discloses the figure, return absent (not_disclosed) — never estimate or fabricate a number.
