A senior Law Society delegation is to meet European Union (EU) negotiators this week to lobby for legal services to be included in a raft of new Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with some of Asia’s key emerging legal markets.

The team, headed by Law Society president Fiona Woolf, is to travel to Brussels today (27 April) before the EU begins discussions with India as well as South Korea and a number of other South East Asian nations at the end of May.
