Hi!
I am a Lawyer actively practice in another Jurisdiction for 1 Year now. So my goal is to secure a TC in the UK. I've got a Band 8 in my IELTS and the plan is to enroll in an LLM SQE prep course September 2025 in either UWE or ULaw and pass the SQE 1 and 2 By 2026 December.
I then plan to apply for a PSW for 2 years so no employer has to sponsor me. Then the plan is to try to land a Paralegal Job for 1 Year before securing a Training Contract with a half decent firm.
Does anyone have any advise or recommendations regarding this route. I know it sounds too hopeful and optimistic but that's the ultimate dream , to become a solicitor in the UK.
Will I even be eligible to sit the SQE exam even tho I don't have a UK Qualifying Law Degree but I am an Admitted Solicitor in a Non European Country.
Someone please guide me, I'm so lost and I don't know what route to follow .
