The UK Government recently published its White Paper on "The Future Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union", intended to be a blueprint for further Brexit negotiations with Brussels.

While the reception it has received both domestically and in the EU suggests that any final deal will almost certainly be different from the content of the White Paper, the degree of continued harmonisation that is proposed in the paper is probably now the minimum that can be expected from any deal.

It is therefore important to understand what is proposed, and what it will mean for key sectors of the economy and areas of the law.

To assist with this, our market-leading experts have been assessing the White Paper and commenting on the key issues. You can find our analysis at our Brexit Hub, including:
