[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 153560, member: 2672"] I want to be honest - this is complicated. As you are qualified in another jurisdiction and now looking to take the SQE, you don’t need a training contract. As soon as you pass the SQE you will be qualified in England and Wales as foreign qualified lawyers don’t need to accumulate 2 years of qualifying work experience. Therefore you will be in a very tricky situation where many firms will not bring you on as a trainee as you are technically qualified already. Therefore it isn’t necessarily the GDL that is the issue here, more the fact that you be qualified from a regulatory perspective but not have the comparative experience of most NQs in the market.
