[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 13624, member: 2672"] Hi Marco The main challenge here is that many will be concerned that you won’t be happy with starting from scratch again as a junior/trainee when you have already built up legal experience elsewhere - that is typically the main problem firms will find with people who have worked as lawyers elsewhere, but wanting to come to the UK to qualify. Saying that, 2 years isn’t too bad but there will still be a lot of questions as to why you are taking this route, so making this clear in covering letters or motivational questions is key here. You won’t be seen as a career changer though - you will be seen as someone who has decided to take a backwards step in the same career they have chosen and therefore explaining the rationale behind that is important.
