Visa Sponsorship for Legal & Compliance Roles
Traditional law firm sponsorship is rare, but in-house legal roles at tech companies, especially in IP, privacy, and international law, do get sponsored for specialized expertise.
Tips for Legal & Compliance Visa Applications
- Specialize in tech-relevant areas: IP, privacy, data protection, AI regulation
- Target in-house legal teams at tech companies rather than law firms
- Compliance roles for international regulations are in high demand
- Consider legal operations or legal tech roles that combine law and technology
