Any non-US lawyers who have been hired by an Am100 firm without having sat the bar? Looking for an opportunity in the US, if possible DC or NYC, and currently working for Big Law in Europe.

Would like some tips re hiring process + visa from those who have succeeded. Looking for a 1-2 year stay and open for longer term

Following, curious to know if you can get a job with a bar but no US degree

If you’re big law in Europe, does mean that your employer has offices in the US and by way of that, they can potentially sponsor you as far as visa, etc? I went to law school with already barred attorneys in Italy, as an example, but they still had sit for the bar here in the US

Sorry wasn't fully finished, I'm in M&A btw, so the jurisdictional influence is much more limited as opposed to litigation / employment / etc.

I don’t know if M&A necessarily means limited jurisdictional influence... I think litigation is actually more limited in that sense and it would be to your advantage to be barred and practice in a particular US state. Again, not much help, maybe other than asking if you talked about this with your firm, etc.

What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?
