US qualified lawyers in UK/Europe?

Jan 23 2 Comments

Has anyone successfully transitioned in-house from the US to Europe/UK?

I have 4.5 years PQE in the US
Admitted to practice in two states including NY/US LLM as well
Also qualified in India (common law).
Currently working in transactional law/negotiations in the healthcare/biotech field
Salary is not an issue if the opportunity is right

— If you have any advice or have been able to do it yourself, please get in touch. Much appreciated!

    Outside of UK and Ireland, which other countries are you thinking of in Europe? From personal experience, it’s tricky to get a good legal counsel opportunity in countries like Germany, France, Spain, etc. You’re not qualified locally and don’t speak the local language. I noticed that opportunities may be opening up in Netherlands though!
