As we at Walker Clark have been meeting since January 2025 with clients and professional friends worldwide to discuss their priorities and concerns for the next 12 to 24 months, many of them – across the world and the political spectrum – have used the same phrase to describe their anxiety about the uncertainties that lie ahead: “How can we Trump-proof our firm?”
The announcement by the American president on 2 April 2025 of universal tariffs ranging from 10% to 49%, to go into effect in less than 12 hours, makes that question even more timely.
In this post, Walker Clark Senior Consultant Sarah Max continues her analysis of the possible impact of tariffs and deep cuts in U.S. government programs and spending on law firms everywhere.
