Ideas needed from You guys here in the house,especially our Barristers in solicitors.I am a graduate of Mathematics,but working in law firm seems appealing to me now.I understand we have financial services division in law firms,do you think I wld fit into this role as a graduate entry level or do I ve to have a LL.B before am qualified to work in a law firm.please your timely and informative responses are highlyu welcomed.Thanks

You don't need an LL.B to work in a law firm if all you want to do is balance accounts and all that sort of stuff. The real problem is that I don't think there are too many law firms big enough to require professional hands for 'financial services'. Even actual new wigs - that's rookie lawyers - have a hard time finding a job in a firm that disburses decent pay, and as far as 'financial services' go, folks hire people whose qualifications aren't as impressive as yours, but who will gladly sweat over columns and figures all day long in exchange for wages that are rather dismal. Besides, there isn't much of a chance for career advancement.

Not to dampen your dreams, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of sense in wanting to work in a law firm just for the hell of it. It may profit you more to turn your gaze in other directions. Otherwise, you'd better get yourself in a reputable university, study law, pass the bar exam, and start your own chamber after. Cheers.
