Fladgate: does its vacation scheme and training contract sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyVacation Scheme and Training Contract (2029 intake)

Unconfirmed. Fladgate publishes no sponsorship policy for its vacation scheme and training contract, so we cannot state a firm answer. The London firm recruits six to eight trainees a year onto a two year contract of four six month seats. Applications for the 2027 vacation scheme and 2029 training contracts open 29 October 2026, through the Apply4Law platform. Law and non-law graduates are welcome, and while the firm prefers stronger academics it will consider a 2:2. During SQE or PGDL study it pays a maintenance grant of £7,000 a year in London or £6,000 outside London, on top of a competitive salary and benefits package once training starts. The page never states a position on right to work or visa sponsorship.

The catch: The training contract advertised now is for the 2029 intake, two and a half years after applications open, even though the feeder vacation scheme is called the '2027' scheme.
