Ever since the UK voted to leave the EU in June 2016, major law firms have been busy creating dedicated teams to advise companies on Brexit.

According to specialist legal recruiters, FRS, which is helping law firms build their Brexit teams, 'the most successful teams are being built with trade partners from law firms in both London and Brussels; and lawyers currently working within Governmental entities.'[1]

Former government lawyers can earn significantly more in the private sector. In return, law firms get people with not just the relevant legal skills, but also insider knowledge, or as FRS puts it: people with 'a unique understanding of the administrative and political processes across Westminster, Whitehall and Brussels'.

'Clients are already looking for advice on how to navigate new legislation and trade arrangements,' says FRS.

Global law firms are positioning themseleves as the go-to people for such advice.
