Brexit is a significant subject for R&I lawyers due to the reciprocal nature of our relationship with Europe. Our Brexit content offers key information and updates for all practitioners, as well as legislation trackers.
Includes new legislation due to coronavirus. Temporary provisions centre around winding-up petitions, wrongful trading and ipso facto clauses. Permanent changes include the creation of two corporate insolvency processes.
Get country guides for 45 jurisdictions – the majority are from our Getting the Deal Through series. Where there are jurisdictional gaps, we have commissioned content, and have created several comparison tables.

A supplementary protection certificate (SPC) extends the protection conferred by a patent to a particular plant protection or medicinal product by up to five years, provided certain conditions are met.
