Covington Webinar | U.S. Tariffs After the Supreme Court: What European Companies Need to Know—A View from Washington and Brussels

Please join us for a webinar on U.S. Tariffs After the Supreme Court: What European Companies Need to Know—A View from Washington and Brussels.

Recent U.S. Supreme Court developments have reshaped the legal foundation for key U.S. tariff measures—creating both risk and opportunity for European companies and U.S. multinationals with Europe based trade, policy, and supply chain teams.

This webinar will provide a practical, transatlantic perspective on what the decision means for existing and future tariffs, how companies can assess refund opportunities, and what may come next from the U.S. administration. We will also examine European response options and strategies for managing tariff volatility going forward.
