Brexit Headline Checklist: Assessing the Impact for Business

The result of the UK referendum on its membership of the EU will have a significant impact for many businesses but the exact nature of that impact is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty. In addition the timing of the path to exit and the form that the UK’s relationship with the EU and other countries will take post-exit remain uncertain. Nonetheless it is important for all businesses to take a systematic look now at what areas of their structures, operations and contracts could be impacted, so they can form a view on what they may need to address and be ready to take action as soon as it becomes appropriate. Our Brexit Taskforce at White & Case has created a headline checklist to help those tasked with this exercise.
