Holland & Knight Forms Tariff Task Force

Preparing for and navigating the complexities of potential heightened tariffs from the Trump Administration requires a strategic partner with deep experience in cross-border trade, a technical understanding of the regulatory landscape, and comprehensive capabilities to advise businesses on the range of legal and policy options that can help them achieve success.

To that end, Holland & Knight's newly launched Tariff Task Force is distinctly positioned to assist companies of all sizes in understanding, adapting and responding to potential changes in import duty rates and related measures impacting U.S. trading relationships with countries around the world. We offer tailored solutions that help mitigate risks, optimize supply chains and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Our vast experience in various trade tools gives our attorneys the ability to adapt at a moment's notice in an ever-changing world of tariff policy.

Our Tariff Task Force includes experienced attorneys from international trade, public policy and litigation groups across the firm. Our key differentiator is that we provide tailored solutions to address the specific needs of your business – whether pursuing a strategy to reduce a potential tariff burden or supporting a more robust tariff policy – that ultimately aims to minimize disruptions to your operations and bottom line.

Our International Trade Group includes a number of individuals who previously served in international trade functions within the executive branch and have good relationships with the various regulators involved in administering tariff and import issues. In addition, our Public Policy & Regulation Group is one of the most experienced and well-respected government relations practices of any law firm in the U.S. Home to more than 150 individuals, including several former members of Congress and officials from various administrations, including the first Trump Administration, our bipartisan group offers a skilled blend of lobbying, regulatory counsel and grassroots engagement. We have successfully represented coalitions of U.S. companies on high-profile public policy and lobbying campaigns to address a number of U.S. trade and investment policies and legislation. In addition, our experience in U.S. trade policy enables Holland & Knight to work with companies on both major trade lobbying initiatives and narrower, company- and sector-specific concerns relating to tariffs, customs, market access and antidumping/countervailing duty provisions of U.S. trade legislation.

Holland & Knight is dedicated to providing top-notch support and guidance in all aspects of trade and tariffs, including Section 301 litigation and Section 232 and 201 counsel. With a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of international trade laws, our attorneys and policy advisors are equipped to guide clients through the intricacies of global trade policies.
