Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get people's opinions on something. I'm a 2004 top-tier US law school graduate, New York bar, but I've only been doing legal temp work since I graduated. I want to do an LLM in London and settle and work there, but I'm nervous about my post-LLM prospects. Does anyone have a sense of how hard it is for US-trained lawyers to get jobs in the UK after an LLM, and which schools provide the best chance? For example, are the top London schools like Oxbridge, LSE or UCL a near-guarantee of at least a training contract, or is it not that easy? Any feedback, however positive or negative, would be welcome. Thanks.
