As the new US administration continues to take shape, it’s already becoming clear that its approach will have significant global consequences – not just for multinationals operating in the US, but for businesses worldwide. From sweeping tariff measures and cross-border tax moves to ESG enforcement, regulatory reform and escalating global tensions, the impact is being felt far beyond American shores.
This hub brings together our firmwide response – insight and analysis from across our international network, covering the full spectrum of legal and regulatory developments triggered by this administration.

Trade, tariffs and sanctions
Trade policy has emerged as one of the sharpest instruments in the current US administration’s foreign and economic policy agenda. From the reimposition of tariffs on key goods, to escalating enforcement measures and retaliatory steps from global partners, companies with cross-border supply chains are being fprced to navigate a highly volatile tade landscape.
We are keeping a close eye on the developments and helping clients assess the impact on their business models, commercial terms, dispute risks and structuring decisions.

Insight: The UK and US have announced a limited trade deal, offering tariff relief for key UK exports such as cars, steel, and aerospace components. While far from a full free trade agreement, the deal opens the door for more sector-specific cooperation and future negotiation.
Our latest client note outlines what the deal includes, what’s left off the table (like digital services and pharma), and what it could mean for UK businesses.
