Hi, currently studying an LLB in European and international law. Basically, after many workshops I decided I want to work as an in house legal advisor (compliance officer). Japan is an option for me since my partner is from Japan. I have been checking the job offers in internet for similar positions and I realized some of them ask for registered lawyers from Japan or English speaking countries for an in house position. My question is if it’s possible to take the oath in the Japanese bar without completing law school there (probably just an LLM). I’m asking this since I also have the option to qualify in a French speaking country or Spain and I don’t know if it would be too beneficial to spend all the time and effort qualifying requires. Probably I would attempt the Japanese bar after a considerable time working in Japan since I know that it’s a super difficult exam.
Thanks in advance
