The Law Society has welcomed the recent talks between the UK and the EU over closer trade ties, which could bring greater business cooperation and youth mobility of British lawyers working in Europe

Brett Dixon, Law Society vice president, said ‘facilitating business travel and secondments for legal professionals and establishing a practical system for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications are very important for UK lawyers who wish to work and requalify in EU countries’.

Dixon urged the government to negotiate a youth mobility scheme that would allow British solicitors aged up to 35 years to train and work in the EU for up to three years.
