Brexit overview: your people and Brexit
Despite the uncertainty, however, we can help you take some sensible steps now to prepare your workforce for the implications of Brexit.
The UK government has stated its intention to preserve the rights of EU nationals living in the UK who have arrived before 31 December 2020 under the EU Settlement Scheme. This provides some comfort to EEA staff already living in the UK but the long-term picture is much more uncertain. As it currently stands, the free movement of workers between the EU and the UK will end and a new immigration system will be introduced in early 2021. This system will be skills-based and will apply to both EEA and non-EEA nationals irrespective of nationality. Despite the uncertainty, however, we can help you take some sensible steps now to prepare your workforce for the implications of Brexit.

Trigger happy when directors’ duties are the target?
In a judgment handed down yesterday the Supreme Court has affirmed that a so called “creditor duty” exists for directors such that in some circumstances company directors are required to act in accordance with, or to consider the interests of creditors. Those circumstances potentially arise when a company is insolvent or where there is a “probability” of an insolvency. We explore below the “trigger” for such a test to apply and its implications.
