Brexit

What It Means for Your Business

Four and a half years after the UK voted to leave the EU, a deal between the UK and EU has finally been reached, marking the start of a new relationship between the UK and the EU.

Brexit constitutes a major change for any company that has operations — directly or indirectly — in the UK as well as in the EU. Baker McKenzie can provide you with the resources and support to analyse and understand the short, medium and long-term impact of Brexit, and how to best mitigate the risks posed and capitalise on new opportunities that may arise.

Our team of cross-practice specialists help businesses across a wide range of countries and sectors to fully understand the key legal and regulatory challenges that should be considered as part of a comprehensive Brexit strategy, taking account of the future relationship between the UK, the EU and third party countries through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). We help assess the nuanced impact of Brexit across industries and map out how and when to navigate the legal complexities across areas ranging from international trade and customs, product regulation, tax, IP, data protection, commercial contracts, competition, employment and immigration, pensions, financial services regulation, corporate reorganisations and transactions.
