Annual International Trade, Brexit and Anti-Bribery Conference
27 – 29 September 2016 – London
Brexit Seminar
Tuesday 27 September, 8.30 am – 5.00 pm
The first day of our conference will focus on the impact following the UK’s decision to vote to leave the EU. The morning session will commence with an update on the latest trade-related developments concerning Brexit. An expert panel will then assess the implications of the potential trading models that are open to the UK and EU-27, with a view to highlighting both the challenges and opportunities businesses are likely to face with respect to the free movement of goods and services across borders.
Baker & McKenzie’s London trade team is the UK’s largest and leading international trade team, being the only team to be ranked number one in the Legal 500 for Trade, WTO, and Anti-Dumping for the past 15 years. In addition, Baker & McKenzie’s London trade team’s Customs practice is the only team to hold a tier one ranking, with a strong set of dedicated experts. The UK team is in turn supported by the world’s largest group of trade lawyers covering all regions. With impact on trading relations being at the core of the Brexit agenda, our team is well placed to guide you through the challenges and opportunities that Brexit offers multinational companies.

This year’s trade sanctions and export controls session will update delegates on key recent developments in EU, UK, US and international export controls and trade sanctions, including an extensive assessment of the JCPOA sanctions relief agreement with Iran.
This year’s customs session will update delegates on the implications and continuing challenges that have arisen through the implementation of the Union Customs Code (UCC). In addition to a panel discussion on some of the key issues traders are facing under the UCC, there will be a focused discussion on the impact of transfer pricing on customs valuation. Moving away from the UCC, the final discussion of the day will focus on the pros and cons of disclosing customs violations around the world, with an emphasis on the UK, EU, US, and Asia Pacific.
