London SQE

Post by BarTaker » Sun Aug 26, 2018 8:07 pm

Hi,

I’m American (with no top tier US JD) and I’m planning to move to London. I don’t know what is more advisable to be UK qualified for work in London biglaw?

1) Get the GDL/LPC and training contract?
2) Get the QLTS? (Being US lawyer has any advantage?)
3) Wait for the new SQE?

I understood that it’s not advisable to take the QLTS to be accepted in any MC/SC firm but I don’t know if it’s true?

Thank you for your comments.
