About the Forum
The EU Forum of the Legal Professions is an
initiative that aims to launch a structured dialogue among the
representations of legal professions in Europe, where common challenges
and concerns can be addressed and analysed, and a joint position can be
formulated.
This is an inter-professional platform of
exchange, a collaborative and evolving project between the legal
professions, where the Academy of European Law plays the role of a
facilitator. We aim to organise an event every year, where the latest
trends and most relevant issues of common interest can be discussed by
the members of the Forum.
