No-deal Brexit & the law: LexisNexis

LexisNexis has published its third report on Brexit, this time looking at the implications for the UK of a no-deal Brexit. 

The 65-page report, ‘Continental shift: no-deal and the law’, is based on interviews with industry experts. The free guide looks at key issues and priorities, such as the feasibility of the UK securing comparable deals with current EU partners post-Brexit, and has a detailed section on the WTO (World Trade Organisation) regime including information on supply chains, public procurement and trade defence instruments. Another section covers the implications for lawyers in terms of practice restrictions and qualifications, offers a practical guide to retained EU law, and covers recognition and enforcement of UK judgments.

Detection, investigation and prosecution all require improvement, while different fraud types demand tailored responses.
