Following the British public referendum to leave the EU on

June 23, 2016, the UK government served notice under Article 50

of the Treaty on the European Union (TEU) on March 29, 2017.

The period between the referendum and the notice has been one of uncertainty, both as to the timing and scope of Brexit. While the notice offered no concrete information to the many people and companies that reside in or trade with the UK, this much is certain: the British exit from the EU has begun.
