EU Law

At GoldOak Solicitors, we provide expert legal guidance on EU law, particularly in the context of the complexities brought about by Brexit. Our team is adept at navigating the changing legal landscape for EU citizens in the UK, as well as those seeking to enter the UK.

Introduction

EU law consists of the collective legal framework that once applied to the UK as a member state of the European Union. Following Brexit, the UK no longer adheres directly to new EU laws but retains a body of EU legislation adapted into domestic law, known as retained EU law. This forms part of the UK’s legal system, alongside ongoing obligations and rights under the terms of the UK’s withdrawal agreement and any subsequent UK-EU treaties.
