EXPERT ALERTS:
President Trump's Plan to Impose Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
Raj Bhala
Brenneisen Distinguished Professor
University of Kansas School of Law
Bhala can discuss President Trump's announcement to impose 25 percent tariffs on steel and 10 percent tariffs on aluminum imports: "The tariffs mean more than whacking foreign steel and aluminum imports with 25 and 10 percent tariffs, respectively. Deploying Section 232 is the most aggressive unilateral trade move President Trump has made, and very possibly the start of a trade war. Surely this scenario was not what President Kennedy had in mind when he signed the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which contains Section 232."
Bhala has studied tariffs and international trade deals for decades and has written dozens of books and journal articles, including "TPP Objectively: Law, Economics and National Security of History's Largest, Longest Free Trade Agreement," the textbook "Modern GATT Law," "International Trade Law" and "Understanding Islamic Law (Shari'a)." He has worked in more than 25 countries and practiced international banking law at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before entering academia.

Federal and State Regulatory Activity
Ashley L. Taylor Jr.
Partner
Troutman Sanders LLP
"Federal regulatory activity diminished, as expected, after Republicans took control of the White House and both chambers of Congress last year. But in the immediate aftermath of that pullback, states stepped in to fill the void. There's a relationship among state attorneys general, and they are working collectively to shape national policy. State AGs and their regulatory bodies -- licensing divisions, banking divisions, bureaus of insurance -- are becoming more engaged in investigations and enforcement actions."
As a partner at a nationwide law firm, Taylor can speak to federal and state government regulatory and enforcement matters involving state Attorneys General, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). He can speak to the trend of regulatory power moving to states and what it means for companies.

Trump Blocks Broadcom's Bid for Qualcomm
Daniel N. Anziska
Partner
Troutman Sanders LLP
"President Trump just blocked the Broadcom takeover of Qualcomm. The timing and substance of this decision is unprecedented. Historians have predicted we would end up here."
As a partner at a nationwide law firm, Anziska can speak to what this action means going forward ? the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is a powerful and unseen gatekeeper on multi-billion-dollar deals. Anziska's legal practice focuses on counseling parties on antitrust issues with respect to mergers and acquisitions, including assessing potential competitive impacts of transactions, drafting relevant deal provisions and managing the substantive antitrust approval process with U.S. and foreign competition agencies. To that end, he routinely advises clients on competition and national security (CFIUS) issues concerning China and Taiwan businesses, including coordination with China's MOFCOM. Anziska is based in New York.

Website Accessibility Laws and Requirements for Government
Stephen Tidmore
VP of Technology
Mighty Citizen
"With millions of Americans using assistive technologies, like screen readers, to use the Internet, accessibility isn't only the right thing to do, it's smart business."
Tidmore joined Mighty Citizen in 2012, where heads up the development process, builds and maintains large and complex websites, works closely with clients to help guide technology decisions, consults on information architecture and design, oversees a team of developers, and manages all internal technology for the company. A technical savant and savvy communicator, Tidmore became a webmaster at the University of Texas at Austin, and built his first website in 1999.
