Practical Law’s Brexit resources

Following the end of the transition period, lawyers are wrestling with novel matters such as retained EU law, the future relationship agreements, the UK-EU withdrawal agreement (much of which only started to apply from the end of transition), and UK law implementing these international agreements. At Practical Law, Brexit issues and the latest legal developments are covered by our Practical Law Brexit team as well as by our practice areas and sectors. Practical Law’s Brexit page includes:

  1. Key Practical Law Brexit resources, which lay the groundwork common to many Brexit-related legal queries to save you time when investigating more specific matters. These include overviews of the UK-EU agreements and practical guides to the creation, amendment and interpretation of retained EU law.
  2. Topic lists collating Brexit resources from across Practical Law into accessible groupings for easy navigation. Brexit resources produced by Practical Law’s practice areas and sectors can also be found on their own pages and maintained and regularly updated.
  3. A trackers tab, listing Brexit trackers from across Practical Law. These include trackers on the latest Brexit developments and Brexit legislation.
  4. A link to Practical Law’s Brexit statutory instruments page, which allows you to search all legal updates on Brexit statutory instruments, and provides links to Practical Law's main materials.

Sample resource

Future UK-EU relationship the end of the beginning

Download a free legal article published by Practical Law (updated March 2021). The UK and the EU managed to give their future relationship agreements the green light in the nick of time, just before the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020.

The EU still needs to take some steps before formally concluding the agreements, but the agreements now apply provisionally. However, it is important to see the agreements, and the UK-EU trade and cooperation agreement, as a framework, with scope for future negotiation.
