WSGR Events
Wednesday, July 30, 2025
12:00 - 1:00 PM ET

Webinar

Add to calendar

Join us for a timely webinar examining the shifting U.S. tariff landscape and its intersection with trade compliance and antitrust enforcement matters, including a discussion of sector-specific risks.

As legal and policy developments continue to accelerate—including ongoing litigation concerning the legality of certain tariff actions, evolving customs enforcement priorities, and a slate of new tariffs coming into effect on August 1—our expert panel will explore what companies need to know to stay ahead.

Topics will include:

  • An update on the current—and rapidly changing—tariff environment, including practical impacts to date and what companies should consider in navigating future developments
  • The status of legal challenges to the latest tariff actions, including the recent Court of International Trade judgment and ongoing litigation before the Federal Circuit
  • How tariffs are working in practice: business impact, mitigation strategies, compliance risks, and what may be coming next
  • Antitrust issues emerging in the wake of tariff implementation, encompassing:
    • Potentially collusive practices designed to alleviate tariff impacts
    • Risks around information sharing and pricing strategy communications
    • Companies coordinating legal strategies to challenge tariffs
  • Spotlight on sectors under heightened tariff scrutiny, including pharma, life sciences, and semiconductors
