Norton Rose hunts for Indian trainees

Not outrageous Those outrageous and careless comments against Norton Rose are unfair. Indian lawyers have been trained on tough and complex Indian State legal system. UK Solicitors are trained on easy course such as LPC in which almost everyone can get an outstanding or very competent grade. Sometimes Non-EU national lawyers working in London have a better grasp of the UK corporate law than the Brit lawyers. There is no doubt in the fact that India and China will surpass the US economy. Norton Rose is aiming strategically for its future and carefully selecting lawyers who will have no difficulty in adapting to the Indian environment should they need to open an Indian Office in say Mumbai. Unfortunately, these days there are so many UK solicitors who have either been made redundant or simply didnt make it to the Training contract stage. It is quite unfortunate that they are not in demand because law firms are looking for lawyers with good Asian expertise, offshore structuring and easily adaptable to new environment. So please do send me comments that makes sense !
