[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 124986, member: 17155"] Hi [USER=20496]@tomperrett1997[/USER]! I think it's amazing that you're planning to make a career shift 👏 👏 As Jessica said, I think it makes sense to speak to a specialist career consultant about this. With the changes to qualifying as a solicitor that have been brought in by the SQE, you may be able to work out a way to get qualifying work experience with an environmental litigator/litigation firm but I suspect that this will require a fair amount of networking and hustling to get your foot into the door. I have friends who have done their MSc in environmental policy and have heard from them as well that jobs in this area are rare, but not impossible to find. To put it in perspective, the acceptance rate for training contracts at commercial law firms is anywhere between 1-5%, so competition is not something you will be able to escape even if you take the law route! I hope you stay in touch and keep us updated about what plans you end up making and pursuing- wishing you all the best! [/QUOTE]
