As federal agencies continue to implement the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and other appropriations statutes, billions of dollars are flowing out of the federal government in the form of grants, cooperative agreements, and other types of financial assistance. Much of this money is being awarded directly to private companies, but it comes with strings attached. The panelists will discuss the common compliance obligations for recipients of federal financial assistance, to include national policy requirements, financial tracking and reporting, adherence to federal cost principles, audits, domestic preferences, and requirements relating to procurement by recipients using federal funds.
Presented by Jamie Tabb, Partner, and Tyler Robinson, Government Contracts Counsel at Vinson & Elkins, and Mike LaCorte, Partner at HKA, along with an in-house panelist.
Join Crowell & Moring International Trade and Government Affairs experts Evan Chuck, David Stepp, and Aaron Cummings for an insightful webinar in which we delve into the complexities of tariffs implemented during the first Trump Administration. We will explore the legal challenges that arose and discuss the broader implications of legislative actions that could potentially impose tariffs on imports. Our experts will also discuss potential trade implications for a second Trump term, including anticipated policies and their effects on global trade dynamics.
Key topics include:
An in-depth analysis of China’s strategy for retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports into the Chinese market, including revamping Chinese export controls and enforcing of China’s Antiforeign Sanctions Law and “Unreliable Entity List” against multinational companies.
The potential negative impacts of these retaliatory tariffs on California companies, particularly those industries most likely to be affected, including semiconductors, automotive, apparel, and solar.
Chinese supplier strategies being deployed that can raise U.S. compliance problems.
A discussion of who’s who in the second Trump Administration influencing the direction of tariff implementation and what to watch for in the next few months.
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the trade dynamics and prepare your business to navigate the challenges and opportunities in this evolving landscape. Don't miss this opportunity to stay informed and proactive in the face of global trade tensions.
