Brexit - How We Can Help

Steptoe's Brussels and London teams have extensive experience in trade and investment agreements and policy, as well as in cross-border work in environmental law, competition, employment law, international regulatory compliance, and financial services, including insurance. That experience, and our presence in Brussels, London, and Washington, enables us to provide an analysis of the impact of Brexit and practical strategic and tactical advice to companies in different sectors and areas of law.

In the international trade practice, we have particularly strong connections with the UK government, having represented the UK in a high-profile dispute before the US International Trade Commission and Department of Commerce. Furthermore, we maintain strong ties with the UK trade community by regularly participating in meetings and events with British American Business and ACITA, the UK Association for International Trade.
