This session will be offered in person only.

In our “Hard Hat Forum” sessions we invite clients and friends to participate in an interactive conversation to discuss and explore issues relevant to construction and infrastructure law. We provide breakfast to in-person guests, and the session is complimentary to all attendees.

Topic

Tariffs & tensions: Legal impacts in the construction industry

Explore how rising tariffs are impacting construction projects and contracts — from cost escalations and supply chain distributors to legal disputes.

This time, we will be joined by our top international trade & procurement lawyer, Paul Lalonde.

Paul is the leader of Dentons' regulatory practice group and nationally-recognized for his expertise in international trade and government procurement law, including from Lexpert, Chambers Global (Band 1 for government procurement, Band 2 for trade law), the Legal 500, Who’s Who, the Guide to the World's Leading Lawyers (Legal Media Group / Euromoney Institutional Investor) and The Best Lawyers in Canada (Woodward/White). The Who’s Who Legal Government Contracts recognized Mr. Lalonde as a Global Thought Leader for North America. He also received in 2020 a global Client Choice Award in Government Contracts for Canada.
