Hello Everyone! How are you all? I hope this message finds you well. First of all, this is my first time signing up on this website and posting a query. I honestly don't know anything about posting on right discussions threads etc. so I apologize for mistakes or shortcomings. I am a final-year undergrad averaging at 96% from a non-law background set in graduate in 2026. I plan to qualify as a solicitor from the UK and secure a TC 2028 at a Biglaw. I am interested in corporate law especially M&A practice. It would be really helpful to me if you guys help me on the following: 1) Is a PGDL necessary for a Biglaw or will MA(law conversion) work? 2) What courses shall I take as I have finished multiple courses related to law, finance from coursera so what else can i do rn as I can't start my intern except after graduation. 3) Also, I secured very low marks in A-levels but earned First-class honors since my first year of uni till now. Will it suffice at biglaw?
please help . Thanks
