How difficult is it for lawyers (i.e. people with a law degree) from
other EU countries to practice law in the UK? What are the possible
ways for such a person to start working as a solicitor in the UK?
Thanks,

Marco

A law degree on its own does not allow you to practice law in the UK. To
become a solicitor you need either a law degree or any other degree plus a
one-year Common Professional Examination qualification. Then you must do the
Legal Practice Course, of one year, and if successful complete a two-year
Training Contract with an approved trainer (a solicitors' firm or a
government department for example).
