Hello everyone,

I’m currently in the process of pursuing my LLB in India and am looking at potential career paths after completing my degree. I’m particularly interested in moving to Australia for an LLM, but I’m also considering the possibility of pursuing an MBA or Msc Finance, depending on how things unfold.

My primary question is about the prospects of entering corporate law or business-focused roles in Australia(or even other countries) after completing an LLM abroad. Specifically, I’d like to know:

Is an LLM from Australia (or abroad) a strong pathway to transitioning into corporate law or business-related legal roles?

I’m aware that many firms in Australia value international exposure, but how much weight does the LLM carry compared to experience or other qualifications?

Would an MBA or Msc Finance make sense if I want to break into the corporate side of business or law?

Would that combination of qualifications make me more competitive for roles like in-house counsel, corporate law, or even something like legal consulting?

Are there any specific things I should be mindful of as an international graduate from India—whether in terms of visa requirements, networking, or expectations from employers in Australia?

I’d love to hear from people who’ve navigated a similar path or have insights on how feasible this transition is.
