"If you could get a *skilled* job in the rest of the EU right now I suspect you would be eligible for a visa sponsored by your employer and the UK not being in the EU any more wouldn't matter much."
Don't kid youself, before EU, even and especially skilled workers, you had to prove that noone in your country has the skills you are looking for ... Tougher than you think.
I live in mainland Europe, and honsestly, there is almost no press coverage on Brexit.

It's like the 15 year old boy who screams and shouts in the house that he is leaving, and he starts packing a suitcase. - do his brothers ans sisters care? Not really, they may even be looking forward to it as to share the room or he toys ...
I don't understand why you are worried about legal matters. Laws don't change overnight, and they are certainly not revoked.
I would be much more worried about the change: North American companies that have their European HQ in the Uk will have to change their organisation. The UK offices will only work in the UK.
In the legal sense, nothing should happen (outside of administrative hasles; existing expats are allowed to work and would likely have to go through the working permit paperwork like non EU nationals.
Bit will your company keep an office in that country? Or in the UK for that matter? Your UK office will no longer be your European office; this wil be the main change.

When a larger corporation uses its power to squeeze smaller companies, it is time the smaller companies join forces and counter react. Let's face it, the printing industry is in a complete metamorphosis, your resellers become your competitors, authors can auto publish, ...
Today is a perfect moment to evaluate and decide what an author gets for his work, and what is to be shared for selling the book (in any form). Enjoy the endless discussions
