Earlier this year, we launched our Doing Business in the UK webinar series with a practical overview of what international businesses and their advisers need to know when setting up, acquiring or investing in a UK business.
In our March session, we looked at some of the key issues businesses need to navigate when establishing themselves in the UK, including corporate governance and M&A, regulatory requirements, premises and operational set-up, employment and immigration, and managing contractual and disputes risk.
Now we're looking at what comes next
Following feedback from our first session, our next webinar will focus on some of the practical issues that arise when managing an established UK presence. In a fast-moving legal and regulatory environment, we will highlight the issues international businesses, their parent companies and their advisers should have on their radar. The topics were deliberately shaped by feedback from the March audience.
Event details
Date: Monday 30 November 2026
Time: 2–3pm (UK time)
Duration: 1 hour
What we'll cover
Directors' duties, governance and corporate compliance - What international group companies need to know about the responsibilities of directors of UK companies, together with the increasing corporate governance, filing and compliance burden.
Simplifying your UK corporate structure - How unnecessary or dormant entities can add cost, tie up capital and increase management risk, and why simplifying a group structure can make good business sense, particularly when preparing for investment, acquisition or sale.
Managing an international workforce - The immigration considerations when bringing employees to the UK or recruiting internationally, including current trends and the increasing compliance obligations on UK employers.
Keeping pace with UK employment law - With the UK employment law landscape undergoing significant change, we'll flag the key developments international businesses need to know about and the practical implications for managing people in the UK.
Tax considerations for internationally mobile individuals - When does someone become UK tax resident, what does that mean in practice, and what should individuals and businesses be thinking about before someone moves to the UK?
As with our first webinar, the aim is not to turn you into a UK legal expert in an hour. Instead, we'll cut through the detail, flag the issues that matter and identify the points at which international businesses and their advisers should take action or seek advice.
If you have clients, colleagues or contacts with an existing UK presence, or whose UK operations are growing, please feel free to share the invitation with them.
