Tees: does its training contract sponsor a UK visa?

NoTees training contract (2029 intake)

No. Tees does not sponsor its training contract for international students who need a visa. Tees is a major regional law firm in the east of England. Its training contracts start in 2029 and are recruited through the combined vacation scheme and training contract application. Trainees must be able to work from any of its offices (Bishop's Stortford, Cambridge, Chelmsford, North Herts and Saffron Walden) and a vehicle is preferred. Right to work in the UK is essential and the firm states it is unable to offer sponsorship.

The catch: The 2029 start date means this cycle is for students about two years from finishing. Needing a visa rules you out, as the firm says it cannot sponsor.
