Brexit: Employment Law Considerations

Brexit: Employment Law Considerations

June 29, 2016, Covington Alert

Following the vote by the United Kingdom in an advisory referendum to leave the European Union (“EU”), there is no immediate change to employment law in the UK.

Assuming that the referendum decision is put into effect (which still appears to be subject to significant political, legal and practical obstacles), the extent of any future changes will of course depend on two main issues:

• which form of “Out” is ultimately chosen/negotiated; and
• the political leanings of the British Government of the day.
