Following the referendum on 23 June, the people of the United Kingdom have voted to leave the EU. This decision will impact upon UK policy and legislation, but changes are likely to be implemented slowly, meaning that there is time for businesses to set a strategic way forward.
The Republic of Ireland is a committed Eurozone economy and EU Member State with a business-friendly legal and working environment. Ireland was recently ranked 9th internationally in the RepTrak® “Most Reputable Countries for 2016” survey, based on elements such as Ireland’s pro-business governance, progressive society, and attractive environment for workers.
Our lawyers are experts in helping businesses operating globally in navigating the Irish legal and regulatory systems, providing practical and solution-based legal advice on the potential ways to minimise the impact of the current uncertainty.
