Hi,

This is my first time on such a site so I don't really know how it works. I am looking for UK qualified solicitors (incl. NQs) who have successfully passed the New York Bar and made the transition to become a practicing New York Lawyer.

Please let me know:-

1. When you passed the Bar and when you moved?
2. Did you work for a US firm in London first and simply transfer?
3. How easy/challenging you found it? In terms of applying for jobs and the type of experience you needed to get that job. I'm not interested in the visa issue.
4. What is the current job market like?
5. Did you find it exciting and are you loving you new life in NY?

I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks.

Bob

Welcome to BE....and have a search, someone asked pretty much the same question a few weeks back, don't know if it were for NY though, but I think it might have been.

Why aren't you interested in the visa issue? Do you have something on the hook already?

The only Bar I've passed was to go into the mens room to piss out 6 pints of Stalla Artois.
