Leaflet featuring featuring 100+ firms (and growing!) with details of those that accept applications from those needing a work permit. If you need a work permit find out who you can and should apply to.
Anyone who wishes to complete a training contract and practice in the UK will require a work permit, except for: 
- UK nationals and their spouse
- Spouse of a UK resident
- EU citizens and their dependents
- Resident of the UK (10 continuous years living in the UK)
- Commonwealth nationals who have ancestral visas through a UK born grandparent
Applications for work permits can only be made by UK-based law firms on behalf of the person they wish to employ, individuals cannot apply on their own behalf.
Whether you need a visa or not is important information for a potential employer. If a firm accepts you onto a training contract the firm (and not you) will have to prove to the Government that a non UK citizen is specifically needed for the role i.e. that you have specific skills and qualities that a UK citizen does not have such language skills and / or international commercial experience. As with most countries, work permits can be difficult to obtain by employers so you should pay extra attention to researching firms in order to assess which firms require your unique skills.
This publication highlights the benefit of international students to law firms to help you promote yourself successfully and lists 100 firms in both alphabetical and rank order so you know who you can to apply to.
