The One Big Beautiful Bill, Not Everything Is At It Seems - Tax & Trade at a Crossroads: Strategies for Manufacturers

Description

The tax and trade landscape is undergoing rapid and significant change, creating a complex environment for manufacturing and industrial companies to navigate. Sweeping legislative shifts are reshaping core business tax provisions, while global trade policies continue to evolve unpredictably in response to geopolitical and economic pressures. For manufacturing leaders, understanding how these parallel developments intersect is essential to managing risk and identifying opportunities. This session will bring together tax and trade experts for a focused, peer-driven discussion on how emerging tax legislation and shifting tariff regimes are impacting middle-market manufacturers. We will explore key corporate tax changes, labor-related provisions, state-level planning considerations, and exit strategy implications, alongside strategies to address tariff-driven cost increases, supply chain disruption, and pricing pressures. Attendees will gain practical insights into tax planning approaches, risk mitigation strategies, and state-level tools that can help “tariff proof” their operations. Through interactive dialogue with fellow executives, participants will leave with actionable takeaways, a clearer understanding of evolving tax and trade dynamics, and a stronger foundation for strategic decision-making in an environment defined by both opportunity and uncertainty,
