Dual Qualify into England + Wales from India
Expand your legal career and become a globally recognised legal professional through dual qualification
Leading Extended Bar Exam and SQE Prep for India Lawyers
If you’re ready to expand your legal career, dual qualification could be the answer. International operations have become ingrained in legal practice, and it’s common for international matters to be handled in the English and Welsh legal system.
England & Wales is the most significant legal services market in Europe and the second-largest globally, after the U.S. Positioning yourself as a dual-qualified lawyer will make you more marketable globally and opens up opportunities within and outside India.
We also offer online SQE preparation courses that suit all types of learners, from those who want to get qualified or dual-qualified as soon as possible to those who need more flexibility and time.
Trust BARBRI, the world's most prominent legal exam preparation expert, to help you succeed with the SQE.
