Within the context of general uncertainty around the Brexit deadline scheduled for October 31, 2019, that could be delayed further as a result of the British Parliament Special Session on October 19, 2019, this panel will bring in certainty in one of the most important areas for business, the economy as well as for public and private legal practitioners, namely, the impact that Brexit will have in fiscal policy and taxation law.
Speakers will focus on tax treaties and showcase how supranational law (at the international, European and US levels) produces consequences that go beyond the intended territorial scope of its application. Likewise, they will review how states, even if they are able to leave regional blocks of integration, are progressively bound by rules and standards created by those blocks, substantially limiting their status as autonomous subjects of international law.
Speaker: Stephen Shay, Senior Lecturer, Harvard Law School; Kathleen Saunders Gregor, Partner, Ropes & Gray LLP.
Chair: Jose M. Martinez Sierra, RCC Director, Jean Monnet ad Personam Professor in EU Law and Government, Faculty Sponsor Harvard European Law Association
When: Friday, November 1st at 12:00 pm
