Hey there,
I am a Swiss qualified lawyer with 3y pqe in business law and I am undertaking this year the International Financial LLM at King's. The idea is to redirect my practice and focus on (corporate) finance/capital market. Having an experience in the UK (whether in a law firm or investment bank) post LLM would be a big plus for my career in Switzerland. I know that the market is already extremely competitive for domestic lawyers, so being a foreign qualified layer doesn't help for sure. However, I was wondering whether the market would be a bit more flexible in such "niche"area. Should anyone has any tip or experience to share, I would be glad to read from you. Also on the big law firms policies on hiring foreign associates.
Thanks in advance!

That's not really a niche field, there are droves of people competing for those kinds of jobs.

The legal market - including in capital markets - is really competitive in London. From what I have seen, lateral hires are rare, even when people have a UK LLM degree. And COVID is not helping the situation
