This online webinar was organised by the UCL Centre for Ethics and Law.
About this event
Re-domiciliation allows a company incorporated in one jurisdiction to become incorporated into another, whilst retaining its legal personality. A cost efficient and flexible re-domiciliation regime can therefore help the overall attractiveness of a jurisdiction as a destination of choice for business.
Following a public consultation, the Independent Expert Panel on Corporate Re-domiciliation (the ‘Panel’) was established to develop a specific proposal that would enable companies to re-domicile in the UK. During this webinar the Panel’s Chair, Professor Vanessa Knapp OBE, will discuss the Panel’s recommendation for a two-way re-domiciliation regime and how this would work in practice. Dr Edmund Schuster will provide comments on the proposals.
The webinar is a timely opportunity for stakeholders to consider the Panel’s recommendations, and how they might impact them, ahead of a further consultation that will be opened once the Government has released more detailed proposals.
The report of the UK independent expert panel can be found here.
Speakers:
Professor Vanessa Knapp OBE (Harris Manchester College)
Dr Edmund Schuster (LSE)
Chair: Dr Anna Donovan (UCL Laws)
