Mishcon de Reya: does its vacation scheme sponsor a UK visa?

Only some tracksVacation Scheme

Only in part. Mishcon de Reya sponsors its vacation scheme for some tracks or offices, not all. The firm's FAQ says it is your responsibility to obtain a visa permitting work in the UK if invited to attend, but also invites applicants without current permission to work to explain how they intend to qualify for it, so each case is considered individually. Full sponsorship becomes available only after a training contract offer. The firm recruits trainees solely through its vacation scheme (roughly 2,000-2,500 applications a year).
