The Bar Council is to open an office in Brussels next week.
The move is designed to give the Bar Council a greater voice in negotiations with the EU and to boost its links with European lawyers.
It is to share an existing office being run as a joint venture between three European lawyer groupings: the Delegation de Barreaux de France, Germany's Deutscher Anwaltverein and the Spanish Consejo General de la Abogacia.
