Herbert Smith Freehills: does its training contract sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Herbert Smith Freehills publishes no sponsorship policy for its training contract, so we cannot state a firm answer. herbertsmithfreehills.com now 301-redirects to hsfkramer.com (confirmed live this session), which is technical evidence the firm has completed a rebrand/merger, but the brief explicitly instructs not to publish unverified rebrand names, so 'Herbert Smith Freehills' is used here. The specific UK trainee FAQ page returned a 403 (bot-blocked) on every attempt this session, so no direct sponsorship statement could be retrieved either way.
