Overseas qualified lawyer?

Eligible to sit the QLTT?

Interested in a career with a UK legal practice?

Norton Rose Group is accepting applications from certain international jurisdictions to join us on a Trainee Legal Advisor programme, so have a look over these pages to see if you qualify. If not, then do apply for a training contract and mention your overseas qualification status.

The Qualified Lawyers Transfer Regulations (QLTR) allow certain overseas lawyers and other UK qualified lawyers to become qualified as solicitors in England and Wales.

There are usually two requirements that applicants applying under the QLTR are required to meet (depending on which primary jurisdiction they are qualified in) before they can apply for admission as a solicitor of England and Wales.

  • Pass the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test (QLTT), and/or
  • Satisfy a two-year legal experience requirement (which includes experience of practicing the law of England and Wales).

For more information on the QLTT please visit http://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/qltt.page
