Ministers and senior officials from across Government have been engaging extensively with member states and our partners in the EU institutions to negotiate the best deal for the UK and the EU. The Ministry of Justice in particular has been engaging with its European counterparts on the practise rights of UK lawyers. We also continue to welcome Ministers from across Europe to the UK on a regular basis.<\/p>
DExEU Ministers are working closely with colleagues across Government to ensure that we continue to discuss the implications of leaving the EU with a broad range of stakeholders, including the legal sector. For example, we work closely with BEIS who co-chair the government-industry Professional and Business Services Council and DEXEU Ministers met with the Law Society in April this year.<\/p>
The Prime Minister has been clear that we are seeking the broadest and deepest possible partnership with the EU \u2013 covering more sectors and co-operating more fully than any Free Trade Agreement anywhere in the world today. We don\u2019t want to discriminate against EU service providers in the UK and we wouldn\u2019t want the EU to discriminate against UK service providers. We want to agree an appropriate labour mobility framework that enables UK and EU businesses and professionals to travel, and provide services in person and over the phone or internet. This will support the ability of UK lawyers to practise in EU Member States after EU exit.<\/p>
We also want UK professional qualifications, including UK legal titles, to continue to be recognised across the EU in the future, and vice versa. The March European Council agreed guidelines for negotiations on our future relationship, which reference the desire of the EU27 to include ambitious provisions on the recognition of qualifications. This is a useful starting point for the next stage of negotiations on the future economic partnership.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government will support the legal services sector to ensure that it continues to prosper after the UK leaves the EU.<\/p>
