How to become a qualified lawyer in England and Wales as a Hong Kong qualified lawyer?

There are 83 registered foreign law firms in Hong Kong, many of them being English law firms.. There is a rising number of Hong Kong solicitors who are dual or triple qualified. According to the 2019 Hong Kong Law Society membership survey, as many as 80% of Hong Kong lawyers were also qualified to practise in England and Wales. Being cross-qualified may open up new career opportunities and the ability to offer a broader range of services to clients from multiple jurisdictions, in an increasingly competitive and international environment. It may also help target new markets and scale up client bases. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) states that passing the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) and having two years’ Qualifying Work Experience are prerequisites to qualification.
