Navigating Tariffs and Trade Regulations

International Trade attorneys Sophie Jin and Ronald Oleynik authored a feature for the American Bar Association's (ABA) Landslide Magazine outlining how today's rapidly shifting tariff policies and regulations are reshaping business strategy and legal compliance across industries. They break down six types of tariffs that most closely affect U.S. companies engaged in international business transactions – International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) fentanyl and reciprocal tariffs, Sections 232, 301 and 201 tariffs, plus antidumping and countervailing duties – and explain their legal implications for organizations. They also offer practical guidance on navigating heightened costs and complex regimes through duty mitigation, contract renegotiations, supply chain realignment (including United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement opportunities), compliance protocol review and updates, and dispute resolution planning.
