Kirkland & Ellis, from its own careers pages
The catch: The exact day in November is not published. No visa statement on the UK graduate site; trainee salary is £70,000 in year one, so a sponsored trainee would sit well above typical salary thresholds if the firm did sponsor, but it has not said it does.
