Brexit make or break?

17 Jan 2018

There’s no doubt that Brexit will bring change for us all – in particular the financial industry.

The first phase of Brexit negotiations may have been agreed in mid-December however the second phase looks set to be far more challenging.

Talks will now focus on smoothing out future relations between the UK and the EU and a two-year ‘transition’ period. For many of us, one of the key questions is what will happen to Britain’s position as a global financial centre?

But Dan Peachey, City Legal’s Commercial Director, believes that with expert resources and services to hand, such as professional translators, financial companies will be able to successfully work their way through the situation – whatever the outcome.

“No-one knows what’s in store once Brexit takes effect. But despite all the negative press, we believe that change always brings opportunities,” said Dan.

“We may well see a greater demand for translations thanks to Brexit; but whether we end up doing less business with the EU and more with emerging financial centres such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Zurich and Shanghai remains to be seen.

“Whatever happens, City Legal is here to support our clients in the financial sector into the future, as it’s done so for the last 30 years,” added Dan.
