Overview
Event Details
The result of the UK referendum on EU membership has triggered an unprecedented crisis in the UK and EU, which threatens the pre-eminent status of the UK’s re/insurance sector and access by firms to the EU and UK markets. Whatever solution is found to this crisis, firms will need time to plan and implement strategies in response.
Please join our Steptoe panel from Brussels and London for a webinar analyzing the legal and regulatory effects of Brexit for the re/insurance sector and how these might be mitigated. Participation is free of charge.
