The results are in and the decision is to leave the EU. After months of campaigning from both sides, voters turned out in force to make their views known. The final count confirmed 48% in favour of Remain and 52% for Leave.
Post-Brexit - what next?
The beginning of a new era for the UK, the question now is what next?
Our legal experts have been closely following the debate over the past few months and offering clear, concise commentary on the key issues. Included here are their thoughts on the sector and legal implications of Brexit, as well as what comes next following the outcome of the Referendum.
Which way from here?
To help unravel what Brexit means for you, we hosted a special webinar which was attended by over 250 people.
Our panel of experts talked about what to expect in the coming months, how to plan for the future and the actions you many need to consider. A copy of the webinar - The decision to leave the EU - What Next? is now available.
For a more in-depth review of what the leave vote means for our clients, we will also be hosting two ThinkHouse events in our offices: Thursday 7 July 2016, Snowhill, Birmingham; and Thursday 14 July 2016, 4 More London. If you are an in-house lawyer and would like to hear from our experts at one of these sessions, please contact jacqui.lovell@gowlingwlg.com.
