Webinar: Impact of the Current Administration’s Tariff Policy Changes on Government Contractors, April 10
2025-04-10 12:00 - 13:00 | webinar
Since January 20th, US trade policy and particularly our country’s imposition of tariffs on friends and adversaries has changed repeatedly, making planning for several sectors of the economy (including government contractors) extremely difficult. Although making authoritative predictions about what will happen next is extremely difficult, the Coalition for Common Sense in Government Procurement is pleased to announce its next webinar, Impact of the Current Administration’s Tariff Policy Changes on Government Contractors, where we will welcome three experts from Mayer Brown LLP to discuss important tariff-related issues for government contractors in these times.
First, if tariffs imposed by this administration increase a contractor’s costs, when can the contractor seek compensation for increased costs, and which situations should government compensation for tariff-related costs be expected? Luke Levasseur and Evan Williams will explain the basics on how contractors are likely to be compensated, and what they should do to maximize that recovery.
Second, Warren Payne, a Senior Advisor with a deep understanding of trade and tariff policy, will discuss the issues driving the current administration’s views, and the players in the current administration who are likely to influence what comes next. We hope you can join us for this timely webinar!
