[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 116501, member: 2672"] She’s in a difficult position unfortunately. Many firms will say a TC is not suitable for her given her level of experience, but an associate position will also be tricky. This is a massive generalisation, but take three years qualified experience off her CV and if that takes her down to 0 or a minus figure, a TC might be appropriate. If it is a positive figure, then a qualified role might be ok but at that number of PQE years. However, she’ll need to sit and pass the SQE too. The alternative is to try and find a firm that needs Malaysian qualified lawyers (that’s going to be exceptionally rare) and work for them. It isn’t unknown for qualified lawyers from other jurisdictions to work as paralegals until they are qualified in the U.K. She should probably try and speak to Malaysian lawyers who have made the move across and some recruitment agencies for their views.
