Beyond Brexit

Matt Clark, our Head of Customs, Excise & International Trade and Dan Burke, who leads our central government consulting business, join the podcast to focus on what will change for organisations that move goods between the UK and EU. And why organisations need to act now to prevent severe disruption to their business.

Host, Shalena Poffenberger is joined by Fedelma Good and Polly Ralph, Directors in our Data Privacy practice, to talk about what organisations need to do now, with these final few working days, to prepare for what is still an uncertain outcome - Data Protection Adequacy.

Few would disagree that finding an appropriate solution to movement of goods, people and data between Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland remains one of the most challenging aspects of Brexit. In this podcast our host, Shalena Poffenberger, is joined by Cara Haffey, Leader for Deals in Northern Ireland and David Armstrong, a Strategy and Economics Partner, to discuss the implications of the Northern Ireland Protocol and the ‘three C’s’: complexity, costs and the commercial opportunities for businesses.

As the clock to the end of the transition period ticks down, businesses are turning their attention to preparing for the changes that are coming whether a Free Trade Agreement is reached between the UK and the EU or not.  In this episode, we discuss the certainties of the Brexit changes that are coming, and what businesses should be doing now to prepare. Host Shalena Poffenberger is joined by Caroline Turnbull-Hall with a negotiations update, Andrea Als sheds light on the new UK Immigration regime, and Matthew Clark discusses how businesses need to prepare for new customs and tariff requirements.

Over the past few months, many businesses have devoted significantly more time to responding to COVID-19 than to preparing for Brexit. But, as the end of the transition period approaches it is vital that businesses refocus their attention onto the changes that will come from January 2021. And, for some organisations the steps they've taken to navigate COVID-19 - such as strengthening their supply chains - will stand them in good stead when it comes to preparing for the future trading relationship between the UK and the EU. In this episode, we have joined forces with our COVID-19: Business in Focus team for a spotlight on how businesses should be preparing for Brexit amid COVID-19 disruption. Host Rowena Morris is joined by Panny Loucas, the Brexit lead within PwC's tax business, and Cara Haffey, our Head of Manufacturing and Automotive sectors.
