PEOPIL establishes task force to restore access to justice for EU/UK injury victims
Ana Romero, President of the Pan European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers (PEOPIL), has today announced the establishment of a task force of PEOPIL international lawyers to fight for improved relations and cooperation between the United Kingdom, the EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member states.
We gathered in the storied city of Kraków, Poland, for a two-day Joint Conference of the RTA (Road Traffic Accidents) and NLG (New Lawyers Group) SIGs. The medieval architecture and vibrant atmosphere of this former royal capital offered a memorable setting for an event teeming with expert insights, lively discussions, and a spirit of collaboration that epitomizes PEOPIL at its best.
Following the announcement of the PEOPIL Internship/Exchange programme in 2024, the first successful match has been made and will start in June 2025.
This project will bring the cooperation between the law firms to a higher level, tighten the connections, enable personal injury lawyers get a cross-border work experience, learn form each other not only about cases, but also about different work environments.
The programme is open to members only.
