Navigating Tariffs and Supply‑Chain Disruption in Construction
Gregory Faulkner, Robinson & Cole LLP
Today’s global landscape is more unpredictable than ever. Geopolitical conflict, terrorism, severe weather events, and shifting tariff policies continue to create significant challenges for the construction industry. These factors make it increasingly difficult to procure materials and equipment on time and within budget. Availability, shipping times, and costs can fluctuate dramatically depending on where materials originate, and conditions that appear stable can become volatile with little warning. This breakout session will provide a legal perspective and practical approach on how construction professionals can navigate these uncertainties by discussing strategies for managing risks associated with tariffs and other supply chain disruptions, as well as ways to protect construction projects from the financial and operational impacts of an increasingly volatile world.
