A no-deal Brexit will only be the start of the pain from Brexit, as a major legal quagmire lies ahead for the EU and the UK, the head of one of Ireland's law firms has said.
Declan Black, the managing partner of Mason Hayes Curran, said that although legal firms and other professional services firms have experienced a bounce due to Brexit-related relocations to Ireland, he...

The UK government has today started its ‘Get ready for Brexit‘ publicity campaign for businesses and individuals, relaunching the Brexit guidance which has accumulated over the past two years.
Acting on the premise that the UK will leave the EU on 31 October, the principal feature of gov.uk/brexit is a ‘checker to find out what you or your business will need to do to get ready for Brexit’. A series of questions are asked, and then links to relevant government...

Three forces are shaping the investment climate. The US-China trade conflict escalates at the start of September as both will raise tariffs on each other's goods and are threatening another round in mid-December (US 25% tariffs on $250 of Chinese imports will increase to 30% on October 1).

This letter is important because it sets out the thinking of the new UK Government. It should be taken seriously and analysed. It contains a number of internal contradictions which should be, politely but persistently, probed by EU negotiators. I hope to explore some of these in this note.
WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF SOVEREIGNTY?
Some of the terms used in the letter need to be defined.
For example, Mr Johnson claims the Irish backstop is...

WILL UK BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE MORE EASILY WITH EUROPE IF IT BINS THE WITHDRAWAL TREATY?
The new UK Foreign Secretary , Dominic Raab, has claimed on Radio 4 that the UK would find it “easier” to negotiate a good long term deal with Brussels , if it had first crashed out of the EU , than if it ratified the Withdrawal Treaty.
Doing this would mean binning the entire content the Withdrawal Treaty,...
