England and Wales are the only regions we know of where you can qualify as a foreign lawyer using foreign work experience. To become a practising lawyer in England and Wales, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) states that a foreign lawyer needs to pass the conversion route via the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). They also need a recognised degree, two years of qualifying work experience and meet character and suitability requirements. However, in some cases, the path to becoming a practising lawyer in England and Wales is less complex and time-consuming. The foreign qualified lawyer can have SQE1 and SQE2 exemptions. They can also have exemptions from the Qualifying Work experience.
