In Counsel Update - Summer 2016

Welcome to the Summer edition of our In Counsel update.

The last few weeks have been marked by political and economic turmoil in the UK following the outcome of the EU referendum. With the Home Secretary, Theresa May as new Prime Minister it is hoped that the country will steer into calmer waters. However, while some effects of the Leave vote such as the impact on foreign exchange rates and the UK property market have already become apparent, others remain to be seen and depend on the next steps of the UK government. Businesses need to be aware of the likely impact of the Leave vote on them. In this update we look at the possible implications of the Brexit vote for different areas of law including contracts, data protection, employees, litigation and pensions.
