NLJ this week: Fast work on the Future Relationship Act

Writing in NLJ this week, Professor Michael Zander QC covers the speedy passage of the EU (Future Relationship) Act 2020 through parliament

Since the late-hour free trade agreement (FTA) between the UK and EU, lawyers will have been reassessing their practice rights in EU member states. Under the FTA, individual professionals will need to register in the country where they wish to work.

Zander highlights that the Trade and Cooperation Agreement ‘gives UK solicitors, barristers and advocates the right to advise their clients across the EU on UK and public international law using their home professional titles, unless EU Member States have placed specific limits on this activity’.
