[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 211166, member: 2672"] Moving between the UAE and London won't be impossible, but it won't necessarily be straight forward either. Although you will be qualified in England and Wales, your experience will be predominately on UAE matters rather than English law matters, which will make it somewhat more difficult to compete with associates in the English job market who will have more experience in local matters. It will depend on what area of law you qualify into and also how supportive the firm you train with are in willing to either allow you to move on further secondments or permanent moves to London. It is likely to be far easier to move with your existing employer than with a new one, and therefore you may want to look at how many of their current lawyers in London are people who trained in the UAE. It will also depend on the job market at the time you want to move - if there is high demand for lawyers it will be easier. Your training will not be seen as less intensive or taken less seriously though. It is just in a different jurisdiction, with different clients.
