[QUOTE="Arthur Feitosa, post: 21002, member: 4877"] Hi Paul and Alexandra, I am a Brazilian qualified lawyer, 25 yo, currently a candidate the LLM in International Business Law at Queen Mary University of London. I completed my LLB and qualified as a lawyer in Brazil in 2018 and started the LLM in September/2019. I am currently trying to get into the UK legal market, but I cannot seem to find any information for people in my situation, even in law firms' events. I am hoping you could help me sort this out: My Visa is due in Jan/2021, and by now most law firms are only accepting training contract applications for 2022. Would I be able to apply and be sponsored a Tier 2 Visa from 2021 to 2022 in the event I got the contract? Moreover, realistically what are the chances of being hired as a trainee having done my undergrad overseas (I graduated with a grade equivalent to first-class), already being a qualified lawyer and having worked 2,5 years in a law firm (2 years as an intern and 6 months as a trainee) and 1 year as an in-house lawyer? Thanks for everything in advance Kind regards, Arthur Feitosa [/QUOTE]
