[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 187595, member: 2672"] 1) There would be no logic in doing an LLB or GDL if you passed SQE1 and SQE2 - there is no danger at all in my opinion. 2) An LLM wouldn't be of any greater value than the LLB or GDL. It maybe useful if it was a very specialised LLM that aligned with the in-house work you would be doing, but a general LLM is unlikely to be helpful. 3) From experience, in-house teams tend to value more commercial thinking and relationship building. Commercial awareness is important in law firms, but I think it is more about the practical thinking of business operations that you need for in-house more so than in private practice. They generally want to understand why you want to be an expert at their business rather than an advisor to many different types of businesses. I think generally though the skills they look for tend to be very similar. [/QUOTE]
