[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 61785, member: 2672"] You are over qualified for a training contract. Training contracts are usually reserved for non-qualified lawyers, and in case where they are open to people who are qualified in another jurisdiction, it is usually when they have very little experience. I am not surprised to hear you are being unsuccessful, as most firms would suggest you just apply for qualified lawyer roles, although probably with a little more experience (another 6-12 months). Someone with your background would be crazy to do the GDL/LPC route - you’d only do this if you secured a TC otherwise for someone like yourself it could be a massive waste of time, especially when you could just do the QLTS in months (which will be replaced by the SQE) rather than having to waste two years on the GDL/LPC. If you did not take SQE route, you’d need to start the GDL by December 2021. To qualify via the SQE, you will still need two years qualifying work experience. That’s going to be the trickiest part, but you could do that in any country as long as you are working on English law matters and can get someone to sign it off for you. [/QUOTE]
