Living and working overseas guide – 8th edition

Living and working overseas can be an incredibly life-enriching experience. We’re fortunate that for the last 50 years, many global law firms have broken down international boundaries, paving the way for Commonwealth-qualified lawyers to more easily move overseas.

Whatever your motivation, be it to learn new skills, experience a new and exciting culture, add a new language to your repertoire, improve your financial security, boost your career prospects, or simply find a better work-life balance, there’s never been a better time for lawyers to explore the overseas markets.

We have compiled and updated all our information and resources on living and working overseas as a Commonwealth-qualified lawyer. The document below is a snapshot of the guide, which includes location-specific advice on salaries, lifestyles and relocation packages.
