The Barcelona Bar Association participates as a partner in the LAWYEREX Project, which aims to exchange lawyers between countries of the European Union (EU) so that they experience professional internships for a period of two weeks under the supervision of a tutor.
A total of six exchange periods are planned during the project. The first exchange period will take place from September 2022 to January 2023. The rest of the exchanges will take place from February to June 2023, from September 2023 to January 2024, from February 2024 to June 2024, September in December 2024 and finally from January to April 2025. In each of the phases, two lawyers will be sent and two lawyers will be received from Europe.
A total of twelve members from Barcelona will be able to travel to France (Paris), Greece (Athens), the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Cyprus, Italy and Romania. In addition, the possibility of twelve other lawyers traveling to Barcelona to do internships in law firms in the city is being considered. Exchanges have no cost to recipient institutions. The costs are partially subsidized by the European Commission. Up to € 400 euros will be reimbursed for travel expenses. Accommodation and subsistence expenses will amount to € 100 per day, with a total of € 1400 for the two-week period.
