I know that it's quite common for magic circle lawyers to move to US firms post qualification. I was wondering whether it was equally common for lawyers to move to MCs after training at a US firm (e.g. Latham, K&E, White & Case)?
I don’t know if it’s “equally as common” just because there are probably fewer lawyers who want to make the move that way compared to the other.

But there’s plenty of people who have moved from a US firm to a MC firm.
