      • How can networking with groups like AWLL help U.S. lawyers transition to the UK legal market?
        AWLL provides U.S. women lawyers in London with a strong network of peers who have navigated similar transitions. By joining AWLL, you can connect with other American lawyers who understand the challenges of moving to and practicing in the UK. As an organisation we are not able to advise on visas or jobs per se, but members of the group can discuss legal qualifications, career opportunities, and building professional relationships.

      • What services and support does AWLL provide for American women lawyers in London?
        AWLL offers various resources, including networking events, mentoring programs, and advice from members who have already made the transition from the U.S. to the UK. We aim to provide support to women at all stages of their legal careers, whether they’re new to London or established professionals looking for community and professional development.

      • What events and networking opportunities does AWLL offer for its members?
        AWLL organizes regular events that allow members to meet and share their experiences, including social gatherings, workshops, and panel discussions. These events are designed to help members build their professional networks and foster connections within the legal community in both the U.S. and the UK. Virtual events are also available for U.S.-based lawyers considering a move to London.

      • How can I join AWLL and participate in its activities?
        AWLL is open to American women lawyers already practicing in London or those with strong ties to the U.S. legal profession.
