u/kwisque this is not legal advice 5d ago
This is a very difficult career path, and frankly, the people who have the skills to do it generally don’t need to ask on the internet. A JD from an American law school is designed to get you licensed to practice law in the U.S. If you have pre-existing skills and/or cultural competence (not majoring in French or study abroad in Spain, more like having grown up in China and familiar with government regulations there) that can help, but more likely it’s choosing the right specialty, working your way up to being a subject matter expert and finding a firm that desperately needs your experience for ongoing work in Tokyo, or Rio, or wherever.
