London in-house lawyers have welcomed the certainty stemming from the U.K.'s general election outcome, with many anticipating that various Brexit trade talks will lead to more work for their teams.
Nick Hartigan, head of legal at construction company Kier Group, said: "It's reasonable to assume the various trade talks which will follow Brexit should undoubtedly have a significant impact on in-house teams supporting multinationals and importers/exporters for a resourcing and legal services procurement perspective."
Hartigan also said he expects some in-house teams to deal with other "macro issues" following the Conservative victory.
