EVENTS

Breaking BREXIT: Coping with a UK withdrawal from the EU in Practice

Event Details

Time: 14:00-19:00, followed by a reception

Venue: British Institute of International and Comparative Law, Charles Clore House, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5JP


In view of David Cameron's pledge to hold a referendum on EU membership before the end of 2017, this event will consider the practical impact of a BREXIT on legal relationships and the constitutional structure of Britain. It will explore how leaving the EU will affect commercial and finance law, freedom of movement and it will also include information regarding how to prevent disruptions in legal relations on a practical level, for example, by looking at means of drafting contracts to avoid complications following a BREXIT. This event will provide ample opportunity to hear both sides of the debate surrounding this important topic.

The event will be followed by a drinks reception and networking.

  • Professor Catherine Barnard, University of Cambridge
