Jonathan and Kortney sit down at SCCE’s European Compliance & Ethics Institute to discuss the impact Brexit will have on compliance programs, including;

* Not getting bogged down by the prevailing uncertainty surrounding Brexit;

* Why we should focus on the certainties like GDPR, Data Transfer Deals, and the UK Bribery Act;

* The prediction that the EU may be kinder during Brexit than the UK initially feared;

* How and why to apply lessons learned from EU accession countries;

* The article 50 filings and the 2-year plan going forward;

* Planning for business agreements that will survive Brexit;

* EU/UK/Brexit attorney-client privilege issues;

* The loss of the common-law voice in the European community (and who will speak up for the UK and US now);

* Potential threats to US corporations;

* Why planning is always the best idea – and why your business should be putting Brexit on the agenda; and

* Great resources to help you work through the compliance challenges during the Brexit process.
