Common questions

Does Farrer & Co sponsor visas for its training contract?

Yes. Farrer & Co sponsors its training contract for eligible international graduates. The firm recruits eight trainees a year through a two-year, six-seat training contract. Its FAQ draws a clear line: no sponsorship for the vacation scheme, but yes for the training contract itself. The published key dates on the page (1 November 2025 open, 27 March 2026 deadline, September 2028 start) refer to a cycle whose deadline had already passed as of this 23 September 2026 review, suggesting the page had not yet been refreshed for the next cycle.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme clears the Skilled Worker salary threshold.

What is the catch international students miss with Farrer & Co?

The published application deadline (27 March 2026) had already passed by the time of this review, so the live 2027/2028 cycle dates should be confirmed directly with the firm rather than assumed from this page.

When do applications open for the Farrer & Co training contract?

Page still shows applications opening 1 November 2025 and closing 27 March 2026 for a September 2028 start, with no newer dates published as of 1 October 2026. Checked on 2026-10-01 against Farrer & Co's own site.
