- Sept.11.2018: Lobbyists: Brexit’s Biggest Beneficiaries. Brexit presents huge risks to business. It could also bring immense corporate riches. Everything is potentially on the table from the UK’s departure, from financial regulations to trade policy, employment rights to food standards. Bent in the right way by the right lobbyists and even small changes could mean companies raking it in. Law firms, some of which are powerful lobbyists in Washington, have positioned themselves as go-to advisers on Brexit. And they have hoovered up political insiders to boost their credentials. Elite law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is helping its clients "seize opportunities" from Brexit. It has hired the former EU finance chief and ex-UK minister, Lord Jonathan Hill. Under EU rules, though, Hill has been banned for 18 months from any involvement in finance discussions in Brussels, which must’ve been annoying for his new employer. In the period it was barred from tapping Hill for advice, Freshfields twice met the EU’s Brexit Taskforce to discuss the impact of Brexit on financial services.
