[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 145128, member: 2672"] I would stress that qualifying outside of the U.K. is probably only going to make you more employable in the U.K. if you gain 2-3 years of directly comparable experience (eg working on similar matters/deal sizes etc). There is a risk that once you qualify in another country you will be over qualified but under experienced - because of the SQE you won’t need a training contract (foreign qualified lawyers don’t need to gain two years of qualifying work experience) but you will not be comparable to a newly qualified lawyer’s experience when they have gone through a traditional training contract. If you can dedicate 3 years to a career in your home country and you are confident you are going to get comparable international experience, then you will potentially be more employable as a dual qualified lawyer with experience.
