EVENT OVERVIEW
Companies across industries are confronting a rapidly expanding wave of International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) refund class actions and B2B contract-based claims challenging how tariff-related costs were allocated, passed through, or refunded. These lawsuits are no longer limited to importers — they now reach manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and any business with commercial agreements that touch tariff impacted goods. Join Faegre Drinker’s international trade and class action defense teams, including Rachel Beck, Kathryn Bettini, Carrie Bethea Connolly, Matthew Morrissey, and Randy Rucker, for a practical discussion of the legal theories driving this litigation, the contractual provisions under scrutiny, and the strategies companies can use to mitigate risk, defend claims, and prepare for what’s coming next. This session will provide actionable insights for legal, compliance, procurement, and commercial operations teams navigating this evolving landscape.
