After a great deal of uncertainty, the UK is due to leave the EU on the 31 January after 47 years of membership. This time, with a large majority, the government can be expected to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Implementation Bill into law, and Brexit really will mean Brexit.
Join us two days before the official leave date for the next event in our Brexit series to discuss the details of the Withdrawal Agreement and the future of the UK's trading relationship with the EU.
Russell Antram, Principal Policy Adviser at the CBI will deliver a keynote address on how businesses are approaching the current phase, what the new political landscape means and predictions for the future.
Our legal experts will then discuss the Withdrawal Agreement and practical steps your business can take to prepare for the legal and commercial implications, with a particular focus on key sectors which will be affected by the changes.
