On 23 June 2016 the people of Britain voted in favour of leaving the European Union – the so-called “Brexit.” The result has created uncertainty and speculation as to the implications of Brexit and what happens next.
Employment law has often been cited as an area where European legislation dominates with the implication that departing the EU will radically change UK employment law. Although exiting the EU will have implications for UK employment law, we consider that much that is in place will remain, not just in the short-term but in the medium and long-term too.
In connection with these concerns, we have outlined the potential impact of Brexit on UK employment law in our Client Alert, available here.
