British attorneys-at-law and persons with British legal qualifications
The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU will most likely result in some consequences for British attorneys-at-law and persons with British legal qualifications and their possibilities to become an attorney-at-law in Denmark.
The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU is regulated in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part. The agreement can be found here.
The Department of Civil Affairs is in contact with the Ministry of Justice regarding the interpretation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement’s impact on the possibilities for British attorneys-at-law and persons with British legal qualifications to become an attorney-at-law in Denmark. Therefore, the Department of Civil Affairs is unable to inform of the consequences of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU at the moment.
