About This Course

Tariff policy is increasingly volatile, presenting significant challenges for businesses and the contracts that underpin their operations. This course, "Drafting Contracts for Tariff Volatility," provides essential strategies to navigate this unpredictable landscape.

Understanding how tariffs impact supply chains, costs, and performance obligations is crucial. Sudden changes can disrupt agreements overnight, potentially leading to costly disputes or unenforceable terms if not properly anticipated in the contract.

You will gain practical knowledge to draft more resilient contracts by exploring:

  • Advanced price adjustment and renegotiation clauses that respond to tariff changes.
  • Techniques for incorporating supply chain flexibility, volume adjustments, and multi-tiered pricing.
  • Strategies for temporary suspension and addressing changes in law.
  • Key legal doctrines for contract termination, including impossibility, impracticability, frustration of purpose, and force majeure, and how they apply (or don't) to tariffs.
  • Effective risk allocation using tools like Incoterms and indemnification.
  • Considerations for dispute resolution and governing law in international contexts.

Equip yourself to proactively address tariff-related risks and draft contracts that protect your interests in a volatile global trade environment.
