BRUSSELS—Prime Minister Theresa May’s top government lawyer was holding talks in Brussels on March 5 in a last-ditch bid to secure changes to get her Brexit deal through parliament and smooth Britain’s departure from the European Union.

Britain is due to leave the EU in 24 days, but parliament’s rejection of May’s deal in January has put in doubt how, when or possibly even if Britain’s biggest foreign and trade policy shift in more than 40 years will take place.
