Your ability to move from a regional to MC firm will depend on the work you have done to date. By this, I mean the type of clients you have worked for and the size/complexity of the matters you have been involved in.If your experience is mainly with domestic matters worth tens of millions (or less), it will be more challenging to move to a role in a law firm where you will need to handle billion-dollar, cross-jurisdictional matters.There are exceptions to this general rule though. I have seen people with deep expertise in particular sectors, such as oil (Aberdeen) and Aerospace (Bristol), then find it easier to move to an MC firm in London because their subject expertise regarding particular types of clients is in particular demand.It is more likely that to move from a regional firm to an MC firm would take 2–3 moves across firms. For instance, regional firm to national firm, national firm to international firm, international firm to MC firm.
