Designed for International Lawyers Building Careers in the U.S.

If you earned your law degree outside the U.S. are now working (or plan to work) here, you're not alone in asking what comes next.

Many internationally trained lawyers begin their U.S. careers in roles such as paralegals, compliance professionals, or foreign legal consultants. But advancing beyond those roles and understanding how to practice law in the U.S. are not always straightforward.

This information session is designed to give you clarity, so you can make informed decisions about your next steps.

This session is especially relevant if you are:

  • Working in a legal, immigration, or compliance role in the U.S.
  • Trying to understand your options for practicing law here
  • Looking to move beyond support roles into higher-level legal work
  • Seeking a clear, practical path forward, not just another degree

Instead of trying to figure it out on your own, this session brings together the key information you need so you can evaluate your options with confidence.

Completing my LLM was more than an academic milestone — it was a life-changing experience. It has opened doors I once thought were out of reach, connected me with mentors who continue to inspire my professional growth, and helped me understand the importance of the intersection between technology and the law.”
