What is S&Cs policy regarding lawyers who hold non-U.S. passports?
S&C and its clients have long benefited from the skills and perspectives of lawyers from around the world. Lawyers holding non-U.S. passports face particular challenges and responsibilities when assigned to one of our offices in the United States. Please read the Firm’s Visa Policies for Lawyers, which sets forth our policies and practices in relation to our lawyers who hold non-U.S. passports, and is intended to communicate both the nature of the support that our lawyers can expect from the Firm and the responsibilities those lawyers have with respect to maintaining their authority to be employed in the United States. Students who hold non-U.S. passports should advise us when making interview arrangements if they are authorized to work in the United States and if so, if they will require sponsorship in the future.
