Does Payne Hicks Beach sponsor visas for international students?

 

[tcplease2345]

I am a recent graduate with no legal work experience, will it be worth applying to direct TCs without any experience? other than firms that only have a direct tc route.

Has anyone not heard back from AG?

I think you can, especially if you have some work experiences you can pull on that show transferable skills - team work, attention to detail, problem solving, client skills etc. you could always do some virtual stuff on forage, just so you can have that on your work experience etc?

hey! I have been offered a vacation scheme for the summer and wanted to ask if this could be mentioned in direct TC applications I will make before it takes place? a brief mention as I would not have yet completed it. or would it be best to not mention it at all? thank you!

Yes, you can reference it as an upcoming scheme. Generally I would encourage people to reference it somewhere in an application unless the firms were incredibly different to one another.
