Recent research has focused on the emergence of new professionals who are willing and able to work across national frontiers. As professional go-betweens, lawyers \u2013 alongside accountants, financial advisers or wealth managers \u2013 have become essential actors of the emerging \u201ctransnational legal field\u201d, coordinating strategies across jurisdictions and forming a strong component of professional services firms.<br><br>The objective of this workshop is threefold. First, it aims to take stock of the ongoing international and interdisciplinary debates. Second, it intends to focus on the historical dimension and to deepen our understanding of the changes over time of the legal profession and its role in the development of global capitalism. Third, it endeavors to promote an actors-centered approach of the role of law and law firms as a key component in the business world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is organised by Thibaud Giddey (University of Zurich) and Beno\u00eet Majerus (University of Luxembourg).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"programme\"\n    >\nProgramme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion accordion accordion--theme accordion-standard\" data-reference=\"fb8dc226-d23a-4f2b-bf00-873bcbc30bbb\" data-accordion-type=\"standard\"><div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n                    id=\"thursday-12-june-2025-room-raa-e-27-ramistrasse-59-8001-zurich\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-11de22ab-955e-4cab-9d62-ad564706d27b\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-11de22ab-955e-4cab-9d62-ad564706d27b\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-11de22ab-955e-4cab-9d62-ad564706d27b\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                <strong>Thursday, 12 June 2025 &#8211;
