Please i do have a question to-ask.
I am a lawyer outside the UK
Presently taking the SQE Courses.
i am however sponsoring myself throughout all the process but it is tough considering few copies of books i could afford because of high cost, i do intend to find out and plead for recommendations if a firm will offer me a visa sponsorship to enable studies go with practice

If your questions is as to what firms offer visa sponsorship, I think the vast majority of large firms in the City will (so the Magic Circle, Silver Circle, large US, large international etc). Besides those, many of the smaller US firms will also sponsor your visa. Finally, many of the smaller UK firms might offer one as well, but you will need to research that on a firm-by-firm basis. I expect you will find this information on the firm's careers or FAQ website pages.
