[QUOTE="eleven14og, post: 137706, member: 18458"] Hiya, I'm an international student and graduated LLB last year. I applied for the graduate visa and I am currently a paralegal. It is highly unlikely that firms sponsor visa for paralegals so I think graduate visa is a must for such roles. But if you apply for Fix Term Contract positions, graduate visa wouldn't be a problem. I would say don't worry too much about your experience. I had 4 month worth of internship, 3 of which are from my home jurisdiction, and 1 month at a London branch of a home jurisdiction firm. My top tips would be to send as many applications as you can! You could submit through LinkedIn, Law Firm application portals, and contact recruitment agencies. One problem with LLM is the course duration. If it is for 1 year, you may not be able to attend VS during the summer because of the 20 hour term time work limit. But it should be fine for 10-month courses. [/QUOTE]
