Establishing a Mandatory Legal Representative

Business Setup Consulting in UK

ESTABLISHING A MANDATORY LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE

Following Brexit, certain EU companies operating in specific sectors are required to have legal representation in the United Kingdom. This requirement arises because the UK is now considered a "third country" in relation to the EU, not only for tax matters such as VAT but also for other sector-specific regulations and compliance requirements.

Below are examples of sectors where we can assist in establishing legal representation. This list is not exhaustive but indicative:

Chemicals: Companies dealing with chemical substances must comply with the UK’s REACH regulations and may require legal representation to ensure conformity.

Cosmetics: Cosmetic products must have a legal representative in the UK to ensure compliance with local regulations.

Food and Feed: Businesses trading in food and feed must adhere to specific UK regulations and may require a legal representative.

Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceutical companies must have legal representation in the UK to comply with MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) regulations.

Medical Devices: Similarly, medical devices require legal representation for registration and compliance with UK standards.
