Has anyone else thought about qualifying in another country?
The risk of brexit damaging Londons legal sector (hopefully its all fine but still) and nicer weather are making me look at other options.

Has anyone looked into this for any country? What is the process? How competitive are other legal markets for graduates?

I ask more just out of general interest rather than seriously about to move abroad (but maybe) and liked to hear if anyone has done any research into this

Australian legal market for graduates is probably also more competitive than the UK.

The main issue for any of these countries will be visas, although that may be less of a problem if you have family in state that can support your visa process.
