While the mainstream Brexit debate has been almost solely UK-focused, King & Wood Mallesons has captured the European business perspective.

We conducted independent market research, surveying 300 senior in-house counsel from listed companies in France, Germany, Spain and Italy to ask how they felt about the prospect of the UK leaving the EU.

"This is the biggest macro-economic and political decision in a generation and it’s important that we consider all aspects of the debate. We have studied the ramifications of Brexit for European businesses and consumers, and we have looked at how a decision to leave the EU would affect sentiment towards the UK more generally," said Stephen Kon, Senior Partner, EUME.

Here, we present our findings, broken down by jurisdiction, and we offer an in-depth focus on the German market, with commentary from King & Wood Mallesons partners.
