How does Brexit and its potentially restricted movement of people affect high-skilled UK passport holders in Luxembourg’s services economy?

This research paper is started from the initial assumption that Brexit would cause impacts on the financial centre of Luxembourg. This study therefore explores the personal and professional strategies British lawyers working in the Luxembourgish economy use to cope with such a highly uncertain political situation whose outcome ultimately affects their lives. Primary empirical data, on which this very small study builds, suggests that the majority of British lawyers seek to consolidate their private and professional situations in Luxembourg. Against the background of major uncertainty, main strategies comprise the application for Luxembourg nationality and, if appropriate, a potential relocation of their professional legal activities from the English to the Luxembourgish legal system.
