EXPERIENCE is the most important thing when it comes to law. Once you have good enough experience and know the practice well, you stand a good chance. Do a Linkedin search, you'll find many Indian lawyers who made lateral moves abroad. But as I said, Experience and skills are key.
Naive question for sure. But would you say it is possible to move laterally from an Indian Law firm into a foreign law firm in say, UK US Australia Canada or any other part in Europe? Is it too low a statistic and so closed off for us?
If not, what are the fairly viable ways one can get a legal job abroad? Nothing too fancy, not talking about the ones that will have you swimming in money, but will keep you comfortable?
If you cant make a lateral move, is it a pipe dream to think that you may be able to land a job abroad post an llm?
I see all my other friends from various different streams moving abroad with mediocre profiles, and I dont like the thought of this avenue being completely shut for me.
