Dean Terence Lau L’98 has written the opinion article “Collaboration Is Crucial to Navigating the New Tariff Landscape” for Bloomberg Law.
The article gives corporate counsel advice on approaching tariffs amidst uncertainty by breaking down corporate silos and enhancing collaboration, emphasizing patience, and underlining the need to be understanding and supportive of global teams that are facing unique local challenges.
In summary, Lau states, “The new tariff landscape demands that legal departments serve as both strategic partners and guides through uncertainty. By fostering genuine cross-functional collaboration, counseling patience without paralysis, and addressing the very real human impacts, in-house counsel can help their organizations navigate these choppy waters.”
