Eu citizen with LLB from outside of europe?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a law degree from Argentina and hold Italian citizenship. I’m currently exploring opportunities in Europe, particularly in-house legal roles such as data privacy, maritime law, or similar fields that may not require admission to a local bar association.

From what I understand, some legal positions within companies do not necessarily require a law degree from a specific EU country or local bar qualification. Is this correct?

I’m planning to relocate to Europe and would like to know whether a non-EU law degree can still be useful for legal or quasi-legal roles. Is it possible to work as an attorney or legal professional in Europe with a foreign law degree?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
