[QUOTE="Cet11, post: 72179, member: 11637"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] I am a lawyer in a civil law country and I never set foot in Britain. I don't have a work permit as well. I want to take the SQE exams and qualify as solicitor in England and Wales. And then, I actually want to work in England or Wales. My research indicates that law firms in Britain don't hire lawyers like me, when they can simply hire lawyers who had a training contract, therefore have more experience in the field. Or at least they choose to hire lawyers who are from other common law countries. Do you have any information about this? Have you ever seen lawyers who are in my position managing to secure a sponsorship and position as a solicitor in law firms? And what would you recommend for me? Would it be easier to secure a sponsorship/position if I I agree to work as a paralegal? Thank you for your help. Best, [/QUOTE]
