Lawyer who wants to work overseas?

Hi, I am a recent graduate of law school. I am interested in working abroad for a few years. I want to earn money and am not interested in those programs where I have to pay to go. Any ideas? Lastly, English is the only language I speak fluently although I am somewhat conversational with Spanish.

IF you were really a law school graduate, you would know:

1. That it is impossible for you to work overseas as a lawyer (unless you want to join the JAG and practice military law) because you cannot be licensed overseas; and

2. That your law school has a placement office that would be a much better place to ask this question.

Therefore, I conclude you are not a lawyer. If I am wrong, I apologize, and invite you to look into the JAG ("Judge Adjutant General") program.

It depends on your field of concentration.
You could look into the US government- try usajobs.com but you wont make a lot of money. Some large multinational companies have overseas opportunities, but again, it depends on your field of practice. State Dept also hires attorneys to work abroad. Good luck.

I'm assuming you're in the US.

Nearly all of the large US law firms (aka "biglaw") have offices in foreign countries, which are staffed with US lawyers. White & Case, just as an example, has offices in: Ankara, Berlin, Bratislava, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Helsinki, Istanbul, London, Milan, Moscow, Munich, Paris, Prague, Stockholm, Warsaw, Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg, Riyadh, Almaty, Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, Mexico City, Monterrey and São Paulo (whew!).

Typically, they don't hire specifically for those offices, but some do. Depending on the firm, someone who expresses a burning desire to go to a foreign office might get a leg up in the interviewing process.
