With escalating trade tensions and newly imposed tariffs between Canada and the United States, the construction industry is facing unprecedented legal and financial challenges. These developments are already disrupting supply chains, inflating material costs and complicating procurement for both public and private sector projects.
For an industry that relies heavily on cross-border trade and just-in-time delivery models, the implications are far-reaching. Contractors, developers and project owners must now navigate a complex legal landscape involving change-in-law clauses, force majeure provisions and potential disputes over cost overruns and delays.
Join members of the Construction Group as they examine these legal and financial risks. They will also offer guidance on how industry stakeholders can adapt and protect their interests in this rapidly changing environment. This session is essential for contractors, developers, in-house counsel and procurement professionals navigating cross-border construction amid rising tariffs.
Topics include:
- Impact of Canada-U.S. trade tensions and tariffs on construction supply chains, material costs and procurement strategies
- Legal implications including change-in-law clauses, force majeure provisions and dispute risks related to cost overruns and delays
- Strategic guidance for stakeholders on adapting to the evolving cross-border landscape
