Hey guys!
I do have a serious problem and I really need your help!
I am qualified lawyer in Egypt and I graduated from one of the best law schools in Egypt with good grades and I started practicing law afterwards for almost 3 years now.
I wanted to pursue a postgraduate degree while working, therefore I enrolled in the University of London External System, Postgraduate Certificate in Law, and I managed to succeed and now I am completing my studies to earn a Postgraduate Diploma in International Business Law from the same University (Expected to finish October 2011)
I teach part-time law lectures at a Private Recognised Institution in Egypt as well.
However, I wanted to practice law in Europe, I don't have a specific place but I prefer England, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland. The problem is that I am really confused whether my previous qualifications and degrees would entitle me to get a job in Europe or do I need to take an LLM in one of these countries.
I tend to specialize in Arbitration, Corporate and Commercial matters, but I am really confused and don't know what I should be doing now. Do you recommend a specific program or a firm which accepts International law graduates and what shall I do to increase my possibilities.
Thank you!
Mohamed.

If you want to practice law in UK, go for the GDL. LLM is useless in UK in terms of job prospects. Anyone saying otherwise is a fool.
