What Womble Carlyle Clients Need to know about the U.K. Brexit Vote

In the short term, the U.K.’s unprecedented—and unexpected—vote to exit the European Union creates considerable uncertainty for U.S. companies operating in the U.K., EU and beyond. A wide range of questions has yet to be answered regarding how the U.K. will work with EU nations moving forward, and complex negotiations will be required to resolve those questions.

Last week, Womble Carlyle entered an historic global alliance with leading U.K. firm Bond Dickinson, with the goal of ensuring that both firms’ clients experience outstanding client service on both sides of the Atlantic. The “Brexit” vote provides a perfect illustration of how the Bond Dickinson alliance benefits Womble Carlyle clients.

Bond Dickinson’s team has followed the Brexit question closely, and its attorneys have prepared a great deal of material analyzing the legal, political and economic impact of the vote.
