[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 81255, member: 2672"] As a qualified lawyer in another country, once you complete SQE1 and SQE2 you will be a qualified lawyer in England and Wales. That poses a problem, as many firms may choose to not take you on as a trainee where you are qualified. You don't need the two years of work experience to qualify as a lawyer - that only applies to candidates who are not qualified in another jurisdiction. The English system is complicated. For qualified roles, you will typically need at least three years of experience and for that experience to be with comparable clients/matters/deals/cases, otherwise you just will be far less competitive than other lawyers in the market.
