Brexit: the legal implications

The result of the referendum is that the British people have voted to leave the European Union. No European Union Member State has ever left the EU so the process of withdrawal is untested. Effecting a successful Brexit will involve disentangling the UK from complex politico-legal, financial and other relationships and obligations.

This Collection summarises the likely implications for businesses operating in, and trading with, the UK including:

• the timetable for Brexit
• life outside the EU
• impact on UK law
• direction of future regulation
• impact for workforces
• practical advice on steps to protect and strengthen your business or organisation

We will keep you updated regularly on the strategic, commercial, regulatory and employment legal implications, providing insight and information as new developments unfold on all aspects of the UK's future relationship with the EU, whatever form that may take.
