Irwin Mitchell Establishes Brexit Partnership With Cebr

Law firm Irwin Mitchell has teamed up with leading economic consultancy, the Centre for Economic & Business Research (Cebr), to help support the work it’s doing to advise clients ahead of Brexit.

As part of the partnership, Cebr will deliver three reports under Irwin Mitchell’s UK Powerhouse brand with the first being published following the EU Summits in October and November.

The three reports will provide quantitative and qualitative insight into the economy post-Brexit including projections in terms of employment, GDP, consumer spending, business investment and exchange rates.

Nina Skero, Cebr’s Head of Macroeconomics, will present at two client events in Manchester and London and at the end of November and address an audience of 650 partners and associates at the law firm’s annual conference.

Nina Skero, Cebr’s Head of Macroeconomics, has played a key role in establishing Cebr’s status as a leading Brexit commentator, providing insight for national media including the BBC, Channel 4, Bloomberg and the Financial Times. She has worked with high profile clients such as Heathrow Airport, Hitachi Capital and the Crown Estate on Brexit-related matters. 

Victoria Brackett, Chief Executive of Irwin Mitchell’s Business Legal Services division, said:  “Cebr advises some of the world’s most prominent companies and has a superb reputation for providing insightful economic analysis, award-winning forecasting and decisive business advice based on innovative research.

“Over the last few years, it has established itself as a go-to consultancy for unbiased and well-informed Brexit commentary and it is behind some of the UK’s most discussed Brexit-focused research.

“They were the ideal partner to work with as we look to ensure we are able to support our clients correctly as they prepare for Brexit.”

Irwin Mitchell recently announced that it had appointed food & drink sector expert Stuart Gallyot as a Non-Executive Director. Stuart will provide hospitality industry advice to the business and help strengthen Irwin Mitchell’s proposition and expertise within its manufacturing and retail sector groups.
