After almost a year of economic uncertainty caused by the global pandemic, we take stock of emerging trends in the market in this webinar. We are delighted to have been joined  by Gregory Perdon, Arbuthnot Latham's Co-Chief Investment Officer. Gregory will takes us on a whistle-stop tour around the globe, touching on several topics and their economic impact including:

Brexit brings with it changes to the UK immigration system which international employers and employees need to be prepared for. Forward planning is essential to ensure that staff are eligible to continue to work and live in the UK and Europe. Social security arrangements, immigration and tax implications all require a review to ensure that businesses are compliant.

As we head into new lockdown restrictions, now more than ever, businesses need to explore reinventing themselves to meet the challenges that continue to emerge as a result of the ongoing pandemic and the inevitability of Brexit. How businesses respond in these uncertain times, will determine how London and the UK can evolve and remain one of the best places in the world to do business.

With Brexit looming, we were also joined by our VAT and tax specialists who guide you through some of the practical scenarios businesses are likely to face, highlighting the key actions that need to be taken.

While the relentless focus has been on survival during the pandemic, businesses continue to face further Brexit uncertainty. Negotiations continue behind the scenes and the clock ticks down to the 31 December deadline.

Our panel includes Paul Samrah, our Brexit Impact Specialist, along with partners specialising in VAT, tax and people. They will each give their unique perspective in what promises to be a lively session.
