The Law Society has welcomed the signing of a continuity free trade agreement with Korea that will allow English and Welsh solicitors to continue to practise there after Brexit
Four UK law firms currently practise there under an EU licence, and can access the market under the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement. Without the agreement, the four firms would have been forced to cease operating in Korea as soon as the UK left the EU.
The Law Society has been working with UK and Korean authorities to try to obtain a smooth transition for firms and clients.
