Too many software initiatives fail for want of this support. Private-practice law firms and in-house legal teams are under increasing pressure to be innovative and efficient.

Demand for quality used-vehicle stock was strong throughout 2018, with average values rising at auction sustained by a combination of strong dealer demand and retailing success, increasingly driven by PCP finance with PCPs themselves benefitting from the strong values being achieved at auction, according to Mann Island Finance managing director, John Hughes. However, this will come under pressure in
2019, as the impact of environmental changes feed into the market. He said: “The current success in the
used market reflects a mutually beneficial relationship between used cars and finance, notably via access to PCPs, which now account for 49% of used-car finance. “However, environmental changes mean
that today we are operating in unfamiliar territory when it comes to forecasting the key element of a PCP, the vehicle’s future value.”
Lenders could find it much harder to enforce cross-border debts in the event of a no-deal Brexit, RSM has warned. Currently, European regulations facilitate
the collection of cross-border debts within the EU, notably through the use of European enforcement orders. These allow a judgment in one member state to be enforced in another without the need for separate recognition by that member state’s courts. Chris Hardy, an advisory partner at RSM
UK said: “We are not there yet, but a no- deal Brexit could cause a serious headache for lenders with exposure to overseas debts. “Should the UK leave the EU without a
deal on 29 March, the costs of recovering export debt could rise. This could have a knock-on effect on both the availability and pricing of funding for UK exporters.”
