City lawyers have voiced their concerns as today (29 March) prime minister Theresa May has started the process of triggering article 50, launching a complex two-year negotiation before Britain leaves the EU in 2019.
May will today deliver her formal notice of article 50 under the Lisbon Treaty to European Council president Donald Tusk, kicking off the biggest overhaul of the UK’s constitutional and economic arrangements for more than 40 years. The move follows the EU referendum last June.
