Staying onside: tackling the legal impact of the first 100 days of Brexit from a sporting perspective
Post

Immigration

The UK's Skilled Worker (work permit) visa regime changed following Brexit, with the changes for elite sportspeople introduced in December 2020. These changes are not substantive and instead mostly reflect a revision and simplification of the wording and organisation of the visa rules.

Employment

Brexit is not expected to have any significant implications for UK employment law. The UK Government has committed to avoiding a "race to the bottom" with regard to employment rights, and from the first 100 days of the post-Brexit period there is no indication that any changes are imminent (the UK Government recently u-turned on its review of employment rights).

Commercial Contracts

Whilst many sports organisations or individuals may have reviewed or "future-proofed" their existing contractual arrangements to mitigate Brexit-related risks, there are a number of issues they should still continue to bear in mind when negotiating commercial contracts, alongside IP, Trade in Goods and Services and Data Protection.

Post

Corporate Matters

The main areas that sports businesses should be aware of as a result of Brexit are potential changes to the organisational structure of their businesses and the associated regulatory obligations.
