While every change in administration brings adjustments in personnel and priorities, the return of former President Trump to the U.S. presidency—as well as the Republican control of both the House and Senate—makes this particular transition period especially laden with challenges and opportunities.
President Trump’s second administration is likely to bring significant policy and regulatory changes, with wide-ranging implications for the future of U.S. environmental regulation, antitrust law, governmental spending, investigations and enforcement agendas, international commerce and supply chains, the future course of the global energy transition, and more. Pillsbury’s multidisciplinary team of regulatory, litigation and transactional attorneys are closely following all of these developments to deliver practical insights and thoughtful strategies to help navigate this fast-moving policy environment.
If you have specific questions or immediate concerns regarding how evolving policy may impact your organization, please don’t hesitate to email us at Trump2.0@pillsburylaw.com.
