      Please what are the chances available for me, what kind of legal jobs can I get over there in UK. I'm a Nigerian lawyer called to bar and currently a Judicial Research Officer of my State Government Judiciary. I'm attached to a High Court Judge as his Research Officer (government employed). What are the best chances I can get relocating to the UK?

    This was very interesting and informative. Point 1 got me! "Understand God's Plan for you". In as much as we want a good life for ourselves, this point cannot be over emphasised. Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you both.

    Hey Tele, thank you guys sooo much for this video, so so impactful.🥰
    1)How can a lawyer who’s never practiced in any top lawfirm in Nigeria move to the UK? Do you think lack of experience will be an hindrance?
    2) if I as a lawyer is interested in tech, especially in fintech law, would I need to pursue a degree to be able to work in the Uk or would certified courses be sufficient?
    Thank you soo much in advance ❤️😊

    Thanks for this video. My questions: 1. Did you guys do your LLM or take the qualifying exams for the UK bar before you got jobs? I hear if you haven't qualified then you can't work as a ļawyer in the UK. 2. What route did go through to the UK? School? 3. A friend studying in the UK said I should ditch coming to do my LL.M in the UK and take up another course so I can quickly get a job. What are your thoughts on this? I'm a Nigerian trained lawyer. Thanks alot

    • @EdBass10
      @EdBass10 2 роки тому

      That depends on the route you’re pursuing. If you’re doing a Masters degree first then you have to take all that into consideration. If you try direct without a Masters degree then it shouldn’t cost you anything other than data for WhatsApp calls / emails / VC interviews and/or flight tickets and expenses if you have to fly down for an in-person meeting

      I’m not sure what “MNC” means but if you’ve practised for 7 years already you should have an area of specialisation, so I would suggest that you tailor your LLM choice to that specialism.
