    Brexit and the Professional Services Sector – What Future for UK Professionals in Europe?
    (2020-02-24) Jacobsson, Johanna; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Professional services form an important part of the UK economy. Their role is even bigger if their contribution to other key sectors, such as financial services, is taken into consideration. This working paper focuses on the provision of professional services between the EU and the UK under the pending Withdrawal Agreement as well as under the new economic relationship that the two parties are starting to formulate. The EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement provides a transition period until 31 December 2020 during which the UK continues to apply the entire body of EU law. The non-binding Political Declaration on the future EU-UK relationship recognises the need to agree on market access and non-discriminatory treatment for service providers and appropriate arrangements on professional qualifications. However, the level of the commitments depends on the UK’s willingness to adhere to the so-called level playing field, referring to the standards required by the EU in the areas of social and economic policy. As the UK is still doing its soul-searching in this regard, it is too early to say what the future framework for the services sector will look like. This uncertainty highlights the need for UK’s professional service firms to consider the need to restructure their EU operations during the transition period.

    Engaging Foreign Lawyers Considerations for the Spanish legal sector
    (IE University, 2024-07) Jacobsson, Johanna; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    This paper explores the regulations governing the practice of foreign lawyers in Europe, with a specific focus on Spain. Current trends in the global as well as in the Spanish legal market underscore the importance of fostering international collaboration and encouraging skilled lawyers from other jurisdictions to contribute to the local legal landscape. With the growing globalization of the profession and as demographic and technological shifts shape the legal sector, it becomes imperative to recognize the value of diverse perspectives and expertise in sustaining a dynamic legal ecosystem.
