Chamber webinars
Last October, Cumbria Chamber of Commerce commissioned experts in intellectual property law, international trade and HR to deliver three workshops to help businesses prepare for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. We recorded their presentations as webinars and also recorded short podcasts with each of them. Much of the content remains relevant as businesses prepare for the end of the transition period.
1. Data, IP and tech
More than 40 years since the UK joined what is now the EU, trying to understand the laws that may change on a no-deal departure and what that means for your business is challenging.
Alex Craig, head of commercial at law firm Muckle, explains the impact on data flow and intellectual property rights including copyright, designs, trade marks and patents.

Chamber podcast
Understand what Brexit will mean for data handling, intellectual property rights and .eu domain names. Alex outlines the changes and the likely impacts for UK businesses.
2. International trade after Brexit
Mark Rowbotham is a consultant in international trade.
He explores what Brexit means for exporters and importers, crucially complete withdrawal from the Single Market and the imposition of full import and export controls for goods moving to and from the EU in a manner similar to the UK’s trade with non-EU countries now.
This presentation highlights these changes and provides the information you need to make sure you’re prepared and are implementing measures to ensure that trade with the EU continues to run smoothly.
