The Law Society and the Italian National Bar have signed a memorandum of understanding to support UK lawyers practising in Italy

Their goal is to introduce the ‘foreign legal consultant’ in Italy, through legislative change.

Law Society president Richard Atkinson said this would ‘enable our members to register to practise under their own professional qualification (home title) and allow UK lawyers to form partnerships with their Italian counterparts’.

Due to Brexit, UK lawyers no longer have the right to register with one of Italy’s bar associations or partner with Italian lawyers, although they can advise clients on English law.
