No. The city is built on multi-culturalism. You are clearly a native speaker. "Sounding foreign" isn't a thing, not outwardly anyway. You may need to navigate subconcious racism, but this is the exception and not the norm. The reason you may only see British/American/Australian accents are firm events is because these are the most commonly represented people at UK law firms. Either those who have made the relatively easy transition from common law jurisdictions, or those who have moved from the US to work for satellite firms in the UK. You will probably encounter many people who won't have grown up/aren't English/American/Australian, and a lot of firms will expect you to be open minded to working with their offices in other jurisdictions, where people can sound very different to one another. Multi-culturalism is a strength in the eyes of international law firms, not a representation of your ability.</p></blockquote><p></p>
