EU-UK Free Trade Agreement: Risks and Opportunities Trading with the EU in 2021

On October 27, Winston & Strawn and Woodz EU Insights LLC hosted a webinar on the unfolding free trade negotiations between the EU and the UK. The negotiations—and the trading relationship that will come out of them—will impact trade globally, creating risks but also opportunities. What will this mean for UK and third country investors, acquirors, and others seeking to continue their access to the EU’s Single Market?

Guest speaker, Sir Philip Lowe joined the webinar. Sir Philip is the Former Director General for Competition and Energy at the European Commission and a Former Non-Executive Director for the UK Competition and Markets Authority, and is currently a Partner at Oxera. Sir Philip will share his views on what can be expected from the UK-EU free trade agreement and in what timeframe.

The panel was moderated by Winston & Strawn Partner Matthew Bate and Managing Director of Woodz EU Insights LLC Thomas Dubois.
