Program Description:

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.

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.
