Brexit Essentials: Rules on corporate campaigning and political expenditure

Discusses the legal issues around corporate campaigning and political donations and what businesses should watch out for when considering how to get their voices heard.

On 23 June 2016, UK voters will go to the polls to decide whether the UK should remain a member of the EU. As the date of the referendum draws closer and campaigning intensifies, it is likely that both UK firms and multinationals will face increasing pressure to voice their opinion on the debate and to lend their support to one side or the other.

This is the fourth in a series of briefings covering the essential aspects of the UK’s referendum on EU membership. This edition discusses the legal issues around corporate campaigning and political donations and what businesses should watch out for when considering how to get their voices heard.
