Due to the European standardisation, European legal titles are internationally recognised across Europe. This legislation allows European lawyers to practice their legal profession in Germany under their existing original titles. For this reason the prefix "eu-lawyer" is used. The European lawyer "established" in Germany has the chance (under certain conditions) to acquire the German title "Rechtsanwalt". Under such conditions lawyers can entitle themselves both "Rechtsanwalt" and their original legal title (i. e. Advokaat if he gained his professional title in Holland, or Avocat for French lawyers).
