Hello all
I am currently training at an international law firm based in London. I would like to, at some point in my career, work in New York. I am eligible to take the NY Bar now, however, would it be more beneficial for me to do a LLM at a top US law school first to boost my chances of getting a good job out there. Do US law firms prefer international candidates to have done a masters or is it possible to secure a job without one?
Thanks
NY BAR or LLM
