The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have sent shockwaves through global energy value chains, creating friction in existing contracts, project structures, and long-term commercial relationships. These disruptions have led parties to increasingly consider invoking force majeure, renegotiation, and termination clauses—raising complex legal and strategic questions. 

Join our US Chapter for this live webinar that will explore the real-world implications of tariff-related disputes on both U.S. energy import transactions and outbound sales, examining how such trade measures have reshaped risk allocation and dispute dynamics across the energy sector. Drawing from recent contractual trends, our distinguished panel will offer practical guidance on existing contractual frameworks that may offer remedies, drafting resilient agreements, managing cross-border disputes, and selecting effective resolution mechanisms such as arbitration and ADR. 

Don't miss this opportunity to gain in-depth insights into how energy companies can proactively structure contracts and dispute management frameworks to navigate regulatory volatility and safeguard critical investments.
