Dual Qualify in the U.S. or England & Wales from the UAE

Broaden your legal expertise as a distinguished legal professional with a truly global perspective

BARBRI SQE Prep courses

If you’re ready to expand your legal career, dual qualification could be the answer. International operations have become ingrained in legal practice and it’s common for international matters to be handled in either the United States or English & Welsh legal systems. The United States is the largest legal services market in the world followed by England & Wales which is the second largest globally and the largest in Europe. Positioning yourself as a dual qualified lawyer in either regions will make you more marketable globally and open up opportunities within and outside UAE. 

We offer online U.S. Bar Exam preparation courses and Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) preparation courses that fit all types of learners, from those who want to get qualified or dual-qualified as soon as possible to those who need more flexibility and time. Trust BARBRI, the world's largest legal exam preparation experts, to help you succeed with the U.S. Bar Exam or the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).
