Webinars to prepare lawyers for post-Brexit transition changes

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has posted a series of five webinars for legal professionals on changes that will take place on 1 January 2021.

In the first, expert panellists from the Law Society, Solicitors Regulation Authority and MoJ will discuss the key issues for Registered European Lawyers.

Family law experts will look at upcoming changes in cross border family and children law cases and disputes in the second webinar. Leading civil and commercial justice experts will discuss changes relating to cross border civil and commercial cases and disputes for the third.

The fourth webinar covers intellectual property rights protection across Europe post-transition. The fifth, from the Bar Council, looks at substantive law issues, future civil justice cooperation, data adequacy and GDPR.
