Brexit – find out what it will mean for you


The UK’s departure from the EU will have far-reaching consequences for many companies. And those consequences are not restricted to EU and UK firms; they will also affect companies from outside the EU that have, until now, used a UK


subsidiary or representative to access the European market. With this in mind, AMI has assembled a special one-day Brexit


Workshop that will highlight the legal implications of Brexit and their potential impact on businesses trading from or to the EU, UK and other global locations. Taking place one day before Plastics Regulations 2020 on 10 March 2020, the event will be run by three experts on international trade and regulation: Paul Ashford, Managing Director of Anthesis-Caleb in the UK; Simon Tilling, Partner at Burges Salmon in the UK; Dr Anna Gergely, Director EHS Regulatory at Steptoe & Johnson in Belgium. Each host will run a session looking at the impact of Brexit from


different perspectives, allowing attendees to build a picture of the potential risks it entails and to formulate a readiness strategy. The workshop will be broken up with round table discussion periods moderated by the workshop hosts. Find out more and book your place here.
