The Prospect Of A Nigerian Lawyer Moving To UK To Practice Law. by sokeril: 11:10pm On Apr 18, 2022
Good day my people.
Please i need more enlightenment on this topic.
Can a Nigerian lawyer practice successfully in the UK if he migrate there?
What's the prospect of a Nigerian lawyer who is attempting to migrate to the UK for the purpose of writing the necessary qualifying bar exams with the aim of practising Law in the UK?
I will be grateful and appreciative for people who are enlightened on this topic to contribute.
There are probably others like me who will gain from such contributions and enlightenment.
God bless you all.

My dad wrote the qualifying exam and is now doing well on his own there in the UK. However, he had more than 20 years experience practicing commercial law in Nigeria before relocating. The years of experience may have contributed to his success there in the UK.

Op, the beauty of trying to prepare for this is that you can probably get all the study material free. And there are tons of web communities you can join to study and get info to prepare for the exam.

Here's more info on qualifying while outside the UK.
