[QUOTE="Dwight, post: 118928, member: 4218"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], I am considering applying for Middle East TCs (train 1 year in Ldn and 1 year in Dubai or an 18/6 months split). If I end up signing a Middle East TC then I qualify as an England & Wales solicitor meaning that, on paper, I can work in London as well as Dubai. Also, I believe the usual expectation is to work as an associate in Dubai after training. But my main issue with the Middle East TC is the following: if I complete a Middle East TC, will I be welcome in the London Legal Market if I decide to come back to London (at NQ or further down the line)? Theoretically, I will be able to work in London as I will be an E&W qualified lawyer, but what about from a practical point of view? I am slightly worried that completing a Middle East TC will (determinately) affect may career. Does the London Legal Market consider working in law in Dubai as inferior? Are you aware of commercial lawyers making Dubai --> London moves. I believe the opposite is true (train in London and move to Dubai). Would love to hear your perspective on this matter, and please do correct me where I have said anything wrong. [/QUOTE]
