This document summarizes a webinar presented by Allen & Overy on the implications of Brexit for commercial contracts. It discusses how Brexit is unlikely to significantly impact existing English law contracts but that some provisions may need minor amendments over time. For new contracts, specific Brexit provisions will likely be unnecessary but timing and commercial terms could be affected. English governing law and jurisdiction clauses remain attractive options for contracts. Litigation over interpreting UK's ability to trigger Article 50 and disputes related to Brexit's implementation may arise but English judgments will likely still be recognized.
To address the future separation of UK and EU law, all contracts should now include transitional Brexit and change/divergence of law provisions. This webinar is an update on the key areas including currency risk, customs and trade assumptions.

Slides from a webinar which took place on 6 September 2018. Presented by Chris Walker, senior external relations officer at NCVO, and Ben Westerman, NCVO's Brexit lead.
The idea of creating a guide to the possible implications of Brexit came into being before the date for the Brexit referendum was set and the referendum campaign had begun. Now that the countdown to the June 23 vote is well underway, this has become a much more topical and current issue for everyone in the UK and I think that many more UK businesses are now engaged in active study and planning for Brexit scenarios.

BREXIT_The Reasons & Impacts
Brexit is an abbreviation of "British exit". In 23 June 2016 Britain came out from European Union (EU) by the Vote of Britain’s people.

Brexit : implications for rolling stock procurement and financingGraeme McLellan
Article considering some implications of Brexit with particular reference to rail rolling stock procurement, leasing and financing. Includes consideration of WTO rules in the absence of a negotiated trade agreement between the UK and the EU.
Over the last couple of years, EU State Aid rules have been increasingly invoked to overturn tax rulings given by tax authorities to businesses operating in the EU. Although it is the actions of Member States that have been challenged, it is the affected businesses that have paid the cost in the form of multi-million Euro tax bills.
In the current tax climate, it is anticipated that the European Commission will look to apply the State Aid rules more widely. Having a good understanding of the issues and risks is, therefore, essential for business, in terms of both tax and of ther corporate arrangements.
Eversheds recently held a State Aid and Tax discussion which was lead by our tax experts Totis Kotsonis, Ben jones and Giles Salmond who were joined by barrister Kelly Stricklin-Coutinho from 39 Essex Chambers and a representative from HM Treasury who together discussed the implications of State Aid tax challenges for businesses operating in the EU and what might be coming next.
Areas that we covered included:
- an overview of how State Aid operates and its application to -tax
- what tax areas may be at risk of State Aid challenge
- what are the potential costs of a State Aid challenge and how could these costs be mitigated?
- how can businesses operating in the EU assess their risk of challenge and prepare for any such challenge?
- what is the reaction of the UK Government to such challenges and is the UK itself at risk of challenge?

With the UK voting to leave the EU, the implications for businesses and individuals are still very much unclear – both in the short, medium and long-term.
What is clear is that there will be a significant impact throughout the international business community that will change the way we do business. Citrin Cooperman together with Moore Stephens will lead a series of webcast discussions to help provide some clarity. Chapter one in this series will focus around the current state of Brexit, what’s coming next, and implications for:
• Investing and doing business in the UK
• Talent
• Structures
• Tax & VAT
Legal statement on cryptoassets and smart contract uk jurisdiction taskforceRein Mahatma
The Legal Statement has been prepared by Lawrence Akka QC, David Quest QC, Matthew
Lavy and Sam Goodman, all of whom are experts in this field. It is not my role as a judge,
nor that of the UKJT or its parent, the UK’s LawTech Delivery Panel, to endorse the contents
of the Legal Statement. Instead, the UKJT has promoted several rounds of public and
private consultation so as to ensure that the drafting team were considering the right legal
questions, and had the benefit of the most respected expert, technical, legal, judicial and
academic opinion.
The objective of the Legal Statement is to provide the best possible answers to the critical
legal questions under English law. I am sure that it will demonstrate the ability of the
common law in general, and English law in particular, to respond consistently and flexibly
to new commercial mechanisms

The Business of Brexit: How Will You Be Impacted?Gowling WLG
The U.K. has voted to leave the European Union. And while Brexit likely won't happen for at least two years, organizations around the world are anxiously wondering what it will mean for their business.
To address these questions in a Canadian context, Gowling WLG recently offered a series of Brexit seminars in our offices across Canada, titled “The Business of Brexit: How will you be impacted?”
With over 1,400 legal professionals in 18 cities worldwide — including across Canada, the U.K. and Europe — Gowling WLG is uniquely positioned to help clients navigate the challenges that Brexit may present.
Led by Gowling WLG’s Brexit experts, this on-demand seminar focuses on:
The process for the U.K. to withdraw from the EU
How the U.K. legal landscape may change
The potential impact of Brexit on Canadian businesses and key global industry sectors.

Infrastructure – whether it involves the roads and bridges we travel on or the electricity and water we use – is the foundation of the United States economy. Without it, businesses would not be able to create and sell the goods we love, and we would be unable to commute to work and get from point to point. Infrastructure shapes every aspect of our modern lives.
But the fact is that America’s infrastructure is aging and in dire need of repairs. Just look outside your car window. Our interstate system is nearly 70 years old, and more than 61,000 bridges are labeled as deficient. In 2013, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave U.S. infrastructure a D+ in its Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. And the United States keeps falling behind. The evidence is in clear sight.

Innovation That Matters reports on the state of entrepreneurship in the U.S. civic
sector, which we define as the collection of highly regulated industries with entrenched institutional players intended to serve the public good. The purpose of this research is to understand how civic sector startup ecosystems have developed, what challenges actors in these ecosystems currently face, and what more can be done to increase startup activity in ways that benefits society. We find that fluid, open networks are the most important element in fostering vibrant communities of civic entrepreneurship because they connect diverse stakeholders within an industry and bridge cultural gaps to allow for effective collaboration.
THe CFPB's structure differs fundamentally from every other federal agency that regulates private individuals and businesses. While its mandate is important, there is a shortcoming of checks and balances on its broad authority, causing a lack of regulatory transparency and institutional accountability.
Despite these considerable advantages, the potential of young adult workers seems to be a well-kept secret. While 40% of U.S. employers struggle to fill more than 5.0 million open jobs, 6 million young adults are neither working nor in school. Indeed, in December 2014, 16 to 19 year-olds faced a December unemployment rate of 16.8% and 20 to 24 year-olds faced a rate of 10.8%, both far above the overall rate of 5.6%.
Federal agencies from the EPA to the Department of Labor have the authority to issue regulations through a process called "rulemaking." These regulations implement acts of Congress and have the force of law. Unfortunately, agencies frequently cut corners during this process, which can hamper innovation, hurt businesses, and waste time.
The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will battle it out in Super Bowl XLIX. But how do their home states, Massachusetts and Washington, compare beyond the football field?
Did you know that more than 85% of America's offshore energy resources are off-limits?
The government has locked down most of these resources for thirty years. And they're not just preventing drilling - they're also forbidding the use of modern, state-of-the-art-seismic technology to access oil and natural gas.
The Index of U.S. Energy Security Risk: Assessing America's Vulnerabilities in a Global Energy Market is an annual energy risk indicator, which uses quantifiable data, historical trend information, and government projections to identify the policies and other factors that contribute positively or negatively to U.S. energy security.
America’s future is in jeopardy. Over the entire postwar period from 1947 to 2013, the trend for economic growth in America was 3.3%. Unfortunately, looking at the period as a whole masks a marked deterioration in U.S. growth performance. Since 2007, the rate has downshifted to a mere 1.5%, which translates into a meager 0.7% in growth per capita in the United States. Even more troubling, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that growth will only average 2.5 % over the next 10 years and drop off to 2.0% at the end of the period.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
