[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 29733, member: 2672"] it’s not something to do to improve your TC chances, It is only something to do for your longer career aspirations. It may help a little with secondments/moves to the US or somewhere like Dubai, but ultimately if you pass the NYB and then do an English TC, your experience will be in English law and not having consistent US law experience will limit what you can do. The disadvantage is that if you choose to qualify elsewhere, a TC technically isn’t a necessity. All the investment (GDL/LPC/PSC/two year contract, three areas of law etc) isn’t required and so a firm can question what’s the point of putting you through all that. However, currently you would need to complete the QLTS to be able to work instead. The SQE will change this though as a qualified lawyer from another jurisdiction would also need to take the SQE and gain 2 years experience. So the attitudes to taking on qualified lawyers from other jurisdictions but with little/no experience, may be very different, especially with work permit processes becoming a lot easier as of the end of this year.
