hi, i glaube if you are a lawyer in your country already, and if you are qualified within EU, then you may can easily be qualified by UK as well.
but if you qualified within other country, then you have to pass a qualified exam which called "QLTT", but you have to qualified in certain country(such as usa, ireland...etc) to take the exam.
if you are not qualified in those countries to take "QLTT", then, you have to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from the Law Society of England and Wales.
so i guess LLM would be a better choice for you since you are a lawyer already.
please notice that the above info is needed to be second checked, it might be abandoned.
good luck
