A legal perspective for Irish and non-Irish businesses on Brexit
The referendum on the United Kingdom’s continued membership of the European Union will take place on 23 June 2016.
As a small open economy, many of the most important risks for the Irish economy and Irish businesses lie in the economies beyond our shores. However, the possibility of a Brexit is probably today the most significant risk for the Irish economy and Irish business.
What can or should Irish businesses do in the run-up to the referendum in the United Kingdom on the UK’s future in the European Union? In a strong response to this question, leading Irish law firm, McCann FitzGerald, hosted a seminar in January at the historic Guildhall in the heart of the City of London. Partner and moderator of the event, John Cronin, sets out the referendum issues and implications and reports on what the City is thinking.
