Brexit concerns

Brexit potentially poses a great threat to litigation lawyers, according to Ed Crosse, the President of the London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA). Speaking at the annual LSLA dinner, Crosse, a partner at Simmons & Simmons, said lawyers have genuine concerns about the potential loss of regulations, such as the Recast Brussels Regulation, which contains a uniform set of rules to govern issues including jurisdiction and enforcement across the EU. Unless these are safeguarded in the EU exit negotiations, London’s status as an international hub for litigation could be affected.
