Nearly a decade after the Brexit vote and the political side-eye that came with it, the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) are patching things up. The 2025 strategic partnership promises fewer trade barriers, smoother cooperation, and a projected £9 billion boost to the UK economy by 2040. This deal could spark a chain reaction across various sectors, including food, energy, education, and more. Compliance rules may shift. Contracts might need rewriting. And for commercial lawyers, the to-do list could get a lot longer.

Which clients are likely to benefit the most? Where are the real risks hiding? And how can law firms help businesses make sense of yet another round of regulatory change?
