NoTees vacation scheme

No. Tees does not sponsor its vacation scheme for international students who need a visa. Tees is an East Anglian law firm with offices in Bishop's Stortford, Cambridge, Chelmsford, North Herts and Saffron Walden. It runs a one week vacation scheme for penultimate and final year law students, final year non-law students and graduates who want a training contract starting in 2029. This year the vacation scheme and training contract applications are combined into one. The firm states that right to work in the UK is essential and that it is unable to offer sponsorship.

The catch: The vacation scheme and training contract share one application, and the training contract starts in 2029, not 2027. The firm says it cannot sponsor, so a student who needs a visa is not eligible.
