Supply Chain Management
Manufacturing companies are struggling to catch up with surging demand as the global economy begins to recover from the pandemic-related impacts on production across all industries. Facing widespread disruption of supply chains due to depleted inventories, skyrocketing transportation costs, and staffing shortages, companies have been forced to reevaluate their increasingly complex and often international supply chains. Contracts are being renegotiated, new supplier relationships are being formed, and just-in-time manufacturing models are being reconsidered. To assist our clients with these complex and critical issues, our lawyers from various practice areas come together to provide a holistic assessment of our clients’ supply chain risks, and develop strategies for preventing, responding to, and recovering from disruptions. We are pleased to provide a variety of thought leadership and resources to help keep you up to date on the latest supply chain trends and concerns. Check back often as we update this series regularly.
Thought Leadership
On 3 February 2025, the United States reached agreements with Canada and Mexico to pause tariffs on imports from those countries in exchange for actions on border security, illegal drugs, and immigration.
Since his inauguration on 20 January 2025, President Donald J. Trump has signed dozens of executive orders and presidential memoranda on topics including, but not limited to, energy and the environment; immigration; international trade; foreign policy; diversity, equity and inclusion; transforming the civil service and federal government; and technology.
President Donald Trump issued a flurry of executive orders (EOs) in his first hours and days in office. The numerous EOs cover a range of topics, many of which impact environmental regulation and related areas. While many of President Trump’s EOs will be—and already are—facing litigation challenges, and others will require congressional approval prior to full implementation, the EOs nevertheless signal the intention and direction of the Trump administration in the environmental law realm and beyond.
2024 was a busy year for legislatures throughout the United States on the topic of limitations and restrictions on ownership of real property assets.
