The UK trade agreement with Australia – which promises to liberalise legal services – could act as a stepping stone to an 11-country bloc with special provisions to accommodate foreign lawyers, the Gazette understands.
The UK government has formally begun negotiations to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), whose current members are Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
Importantly for lawyers, the trans-Pacific agreement has a professional services annex with clauses designed to facilitate the provision of cross-border legal services. While regulators are not bound by the annex, it is expected to address some of the behind-border barriers that currently prevent UK solicitors practising abroad. Specifically, it encourages member countries to allow foreign lawyers to operate on a fly-in, fly-out basis and be integrated fully with domestic lawyers.
