Government Guidance for Lawyers for when we leave the EU on 1st January

The MoJ has published a series of documents for the Legal Profession with advice and guidance for when we leave the EU on 1st January 2021. For ease of reference we have published the links to them below. A lot of important issues. 

Some require urgent action - such as if you are an EU qualified lawyer who owns a UK law firm. It seems to indicate that you will have to requalify!
