UK-qualified lawyers can now practise in Greece again, after the Greek government passed a law last week
The legislation allows lawyers qualified in the UK and based in Greece to register with a Greek Bar to advise clients on English law as well as public international law.
Several large UK law firms have shipping, insurance and finance practices in Athens and Piraeus. Following Brexit, however, UK legal professionals lost the right to register to practise in the country.
Law Society president Nick Emmerson said Greece is ‘one of the continent’s most important markets’.
