WEBINAR: Beyond the First Year - Regulation in the Trump Era
Webinar | 02.28.18, 6:00 AM EST - 7:30 AM EST
The election of Donald Trump and Republican majorities in both houses of Congress in November 2016 has meant both new opportunities and new uncertainties for business. Over the past year, Crowell & Moring’s “Trump the First Year” program focused on the Administration’s goals and its ability to translate its deregulatory and “America First” agenda into concrete actions.
In some areas – tax policy and rolling back environmental regulation among them – the Administration has had some successes. In others, competing forces – such as Congress’s inability to act, and the federal courts’ oversight – have stymied its efforts. With 2018 upon us, the mid-term elections and the regulatory clock become factors. What can the Administration do before those mid-terms potentially change the political calculus? What regulations can the Administration issue before court calendars make their legal defense during this Administration unlikely?
In this webinar, our team of policy advisors and former regulators offer insight on these and other questions about what is likely to be in store for 2018 – both in Congress and in the federal Executive Branch. Program attendees will also receive a preview of Crowell & Moring’s fourth annual Regulatory Forecast, which offers in-depth analyses on a range of federal regulatory issues affecting U.S. and international businesses.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
