In 2020, the UK and the EU concluded one of the largest trade deals in history, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). While the TCA regulates a number of important areas, it does not address in detail significant aspects of the UK economy, including the services sector, which represents the largest portion of the UK GDP. In this publication, we discuss key areas of the TCA of relevance to our clients, identify issues that remain largely unregulated and examine other topics of note.

The business world confronts a host of shifting challenges in 2021. To help boards navigate these, Skadden is launching The Informed Board, a periodic collection of concise articles that provide broad insights about key issues directors face. In these articles, we aim to help flag potential challenges that may not be fully appreciated, explain trends, share our observations and give directors practical guidance without a lot of legal jargon. These articles are based not just on Skadden’s knowledge of the law, but also on our front-line experience inside boardrooms.
