[QUOTE="yuk0n, post: 74642, member: 11967"] Hi everyone. I must preface this by stating that I am new to this forum, so I’m not certain that this has been posted in the right place. Do let me know if so. To give context to my situation, I’m due to start my law degree this autumn. Whilst I am of course keeping my options relatively open, I’ve found that through commercial awareness seminars, my own wider reading and personal research that I am likely to go down the commercial route (most likely as a solicitor, but again we’ll see). I am particularly interested in working at a US firm as I’ve been keeping up with a decent handful of firms’ activity and have been particularly impressed by what some of the US firms have been up to. Of course, I’m not putting all of my eggs in one basket, and although I am sitting on an unconditional to study at Oxbridge & am doing everything I can to bolster my CV and prepare myself for my studies to get the best marks I can, I understand that a US firm training contract won’t come easy. With that out the way, if I [I]am[/I] able to secure work at one of these firms’ London office, how likely is it that I might get to work in America one day? I am especially interested in New York’s legal market, as I not only like the idea of staying there, but also love the corporate work that occurs there. Not to mention the fact that I have heard that you don’t need to undergo a JD to practise there. I am of conscious of the fact that this will depend heavily on the individual firm. With that in mind, I would appreciate any viewpoints on particular US firms’ attitude to this. Thank you in advance [/QUOTE]
