[QUOTE="Co1983, post: 187605, member: 37903"] Thank-you Jessica. I will happily consign to the dustbin any thoughts of doing an LLB or GDL. I think you have articulated really well why I want to be in-house in your third point too. I have spent my whole career in financial services and I honestly have no interest in venturing into a law firm to deal with a broader array of clients, or even to deal with multiple financial services clients. Over the years, I've enjoyed working across departments to really understand my employers' businesses not just from a legal but also commercial perspective and I don't want to move away from that. And billable hours holds no appeal for me either! Given that I'm already quite set on where I want to specialise I will still consider the value of an LLM although I think the price tag would demand that it was more than merely "useful!" It sounds like I might be better off being free to read more widely in my own time rather than focus on one course. Many thanks for all your help. One more question though if I may? Do you know what the typical route into a first in house job tends to be? All the vacancies seem to be for lawyers or people with law degrees? [/QUOTE]
