Post Brexit Trade Deal – What does this mean for London Businesses?
Oksana Howard, a Partner in our Corporate and Commercial Department, has presented the webinar on the new EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which was hosted by the Greater London Authority’s London Business Hub on 21 January 2021.
As part of her presentation Oksana has provided a general overview of the key areas of the new Trade and Cooperation Agreement and also gave a useful guidance to UK businesses in relation to the following issues:
- Trading in goods with the EU – new requirements on import and export, application of rules of origin when claiming preferential tariffs treatment
- Trading in services and digital services with the EU – service trade barriers, data flows and appointing EU representatives
- Employing EU nationals in the UK or employing UK nationals in the UK companies’ European offices
- Intellectual Property rights and transfer of EU data
