Firm builds on Brexit advisory capacity
Clifford Chance has hired international trade expert Federico Ortino to augment its Brexit advisory capability.
Ortino joins a team of 60 lawyers working on international trade issues alongside Clifford Chance's pre-eminent financial and commercial regulatory practices to help businesses and government understand the implications of Brexit, plan for the future and negotiate the best outcomes.
Jessica Gladstone, Clifford Chance partner and international law specialist, says: "For many in government and businesses, Brexit is the biggest black swan of their careers. Given the size of the coming job, it's essential that advisers build existing capability and resources to give clients the advice and support they need to deal with the inevitable disruption that follows.
"Advisers without international experience will find this difficult, as the UK has never faced an issue like this before. Our firm has been at the forefront of activity on Brexit scenario planning and Federico brings a wealth of specialist international trade knowledge which we're already deploying internally to enhance our Brexit advisory offering."
