2025 & Beyond: GC Playbook for Hot Issues in Trump 2.0 — Trade, Tariffs, Civil Rights, and the Enforcement Agenda

With a shifting legal and regulatory environment under the second Trump administration, general counsel must be prepared for rapid changes in trade policy, regulatory enforcement, and civil rights compliance. From new tariff structures to evolving DOJ priorities, the legal landscape is poised for significant transformation—and in-house leaders need a forward-looking playbook to protect business interests and stay ahead of risk.

This in-person program will bring together legal and industry leaders to dissect the latest developments and provide practical guidance for navigating uncertainty. We’ll explore new trade agreements, supply chain risk management, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, and emerging enforcement priorities that could impact your organization in 2025 and beyond.

Join us in person on Wednesday, September 10 at 5:30pm for an interactive discussion featuring Michael Stroud and Stephanie Martz (Chief Administrative Officer & General Counsel, National Retail Federation) on trade and tariffs, and Tim Belevetz and Jen Jackman on civil rights enforcement and compliance strategy.

Key Takeaways:

• What recent trade agreements with the UK, EU, and other partners mean for your business
• Scope, timing, and contractual implications of current and upcoming tariff changes
• Best practices for managing supply chain risk and maintaining customs compliance
• DOJ Civil Rights Fraud Initiative: objectives, enforcement trends, and compliance implications
• Mitigation strategies for government contractors, grant recipients, and regulated entities facing heightened scrutiny
