That's how i understand the process ,whilst we will still be bound by all EU laws and treaties until we have formally left there is nothing stopping us negotiating treaties to take effect from the day we leave

The bigger problem seems to quite literally be a lack of manpower. Reports last weekend said we don't have enough trade negotiators to deal with the EU yet let alone to go out and strike up deals with other nations. Finally any prospect deals then need input from different government departments/sectors of industry.

Also NZ have offered their negotiators to help us out apparently. I'll give links when I get home in a couple of hrs.
