Fieldfisher: does its vacation scheme sponsor a UK visa?

What is the catch international students miss with Fieldfisher?

How should I confirm Fieldfisher's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Fieldfisher's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
