What – More Exams
You can work as a foreign lawyer under the supervision of a partner at a law firm. However, if you are a litigator and need to appear as an advocate in either the Jersey or Guernsey courts, or you wish to become a partner within a Channel Islands based firm, then you must undertake the examinations appropriate to the jurisdiction in which you wish to practise i.e. either Jersey or Guernsey.
To re-qualify in Jersey you must have been practising there for 2 years. For Guernsey, it is 3 years. The re-qualification process involves undertaking 6 exams from which you must secure 14 units. Note that the Conveyancing exam is in French.
