“I am moving into my final seat as a trainee and an weighing up the pros and cons of where to qualify. I very much enjoy litigation and based purely on the work I like, that would be my first choice. However, one of my other major goals is to work in emerging markets. I have a passion for travel and love wacky parts of the world. I don’t consider it glamorous, I just consider it interesting!
“How internationally practicable is litigation? Presumably, very much in Hong Kong, Singapore, offshore firms – but where else? Should I give some thought to corporate/commercial too – it seems even easier to transfer internationally, or am I wrong? As a general question, what parts of the world can an English qualified lawyer work in? Is it a problem that I am a GDL graduate rather than a LLB for international transferability?”
