Hi,
I have completed my LL.B in March 2008 and got Lisence from Pakistan. i want to come as a Australian- registered foreign lawyer .Is it possible? What are the requirement for this? What are the Scope of Practice in Australia as a Australian-registered foreign lawyer? May i get job on Pakistani Law Degree?

Hello,

Personally, I think getting registered as a foreign lawyer in Australia shouldn't be too big of an issue / problem. However, in my experience, I think that there is not much of a demand for foreign lawyers in Australia because the number of international law firms in Australia are extremely limited.

There might be some demand for US lawyers given there are a limited number of US law firms in Australia. However, other foreign practising certificates might not come in useful in Australia.

This is based on my general experience but others might have a different opinion!

i have heard that the govt offers quite a few - might want to check with slowbutsure - think he got one!


Cheers,
