Jeff Hay and Johnathan Blair discuss alternatives to a bilateral agreement and if the pragmatic solution is free trade between the UK and the EU in this latest addition to our multi-part video series discussing the UK’s decision to leave the EU and the potential challenges and opportunities Brexit poses for businesses on either side of the Atlantic.
