Law degree to international work

So I really want to be able to work internationally (UK, US, and Japan mostly). I’d be doing either corporate, commercial, or international law (private i think and i’m not too sure on what specialisation)

Here’s what I’m thinking (please let me know if its stupid heh):

- do an LLB in UK law
qualify as a uk solicitor (either here or below not sure yet)
- do a dual/double LLM in US and Japanese law
qualify as a uk solicitor (either here or before llm)
sit the bar exam to allow me to work in NY (and/or maybe California)
sit the bar exam to allow work in Japan

Instead of the last two, I could also simply join a multinational firm and get transferred to offices in those countries (much more likely option)

or only sit one bar exam and work in multinational firm for other country

im asking in terms of sensibility, not plausibility - ik the bar exams are nightmares and nearly impossible to pass, especially in Japan 😬😬

Legal field is very extensive yet professionally specific, so I think you can qualify as a solicitor first and look for the firms with international presence.
