The Brexit Negotiations (2): What is the UK's Opening Position

Client Alert

This is our second Alert on the Brexit negotiation, which started on Monday, June 19, 2017. Having outlined the EU's opening position, we now turn to that of the United Kingdom. The main source used is the UK Government's “White Paper” entitled “The United Kingdom's exit from and new partnership with the European Union”, which was presented to the UK Parliament in February 2017. We also set out additional considerations based on the result of the recent UK general election, which may affect the extent to which the Government is able to pursue the approach outlined in the White Paper.
