Mills & Reeve: does its summer vacation scheme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policySummer Vacation Scheme (Training Contract 2029 intake)

Unconfirmed. Mills & Reeve publishes no sponsorship policy for its summer vacation scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. All roughly 30 trainee places across six offices are recruited through this single summer vacation scheme. The firm's own FAQ headed 'What sponsorship do we offer?' answers only about funding the PGDL and SQE with a maintenance grant; it does not address Skilled Worker visa sponsorship or right to work for international candidates anywhere on the page.

The catch: The firm's only published use of the word 'sponsorship' refers to funding postgraduate law courses, not to UK visa sponsorship, so international candidates cannot infer a work-visa policy from this page despite the reassuring language.
