Members of Combar are leading specialists in many of the areas of commercial legal practice that will or may be impacted by Brexit. A series of detailed papers explaining the potential effect of Brexit on these areas of practice have been produced by teams of Combar members, in some cases working with non-Combar specialists including solicitors, academics and retired judges.

Papers have been produced in the following areas:

1.  Conflicts of Laws, Jurisdiction, Choice of Court Agreements, Choice of Law, Service of Legal Process and Judicial Assistance in Taking of Evidence
2. Banking
3. Financial
4. International Arbitration
5. Competition

These papers were recently submitted to the Ministry of Justice following a meeting with the Lord Chancellor in December attended by a number of members of the Combar Brexit Committee. They are now being made available on the Combar website. Anyone is welcome to read them and to disseminate them on the understanding that, in doing so, the fact that they were produced by Combar will be acknowledged.

A second tranche of papers on other areas of legal practice affected by Brexit will be provided in the near future.
