Anderson Strathern launches Brexit Group
Anderson Strathern has launched a Brexit Groupin response to client demand for scenario planning following the UK’s decision to leave the EU. The 12-strong team, led by managing partner Murray McCall, is closely tracking all the latest developments and stepping up dialogue with the UK and Scottish governments with the overall aim of giving informed, industry-leading advice to clients in the weeks and months ahead.
The firm has introduced a Brexit page on its website and is also producing regular e-bulletins from across every area of the firm on all things Brexit and is running a series of events for clients and business associates to focus on the key issues and allow a sharing of information.
Robert Carr, Anderson Strathern’s chair, said: “The outcome of the UK’s recent referendum on EU membership is making waves across the business scene and looks like it will continue to do so for the considerable future.
“For that reason, and in response to demand from our client base, we have set up a dedicated executive team made up of partners and experts from across the firm to keep abreast of latest developments and to consider the risks and opportunities inherent to a complex, international regulatory process like the one now in hand.”
Mr McCall said: “Adapting to life post-Brexit is going to be a drawn-out affair that will impact many of our clients’ day-to-day activities and strategic planning. While it’s not new for us to be advising on Scotland the UK’s relationship with the EU, we feel the fast-changing landscape warrants a dedicated team who regularly meet to discuss implications and put a plan of action in place.”
