On behalf of Cambridge LLP, Pooneh Sooresrafil (Associate, Cross-Border Litigation Group), along with articling students Caleb Viesman and Martina Arcuri, attended the Neurose Cross-Border Canada-U.S. Breakfast Seminar in Markham on December 9, 2025
The seminar featured expert insights on navigating the evolving tariff environment under the second Trump administration.
- Elizabeth Klarin (Lippes Matthias LLP) emphasized that while U.S. immigration enforcement has intensified, the underlying policies remain largely unchanged — and that Canada–U.S. business expansion remains viable with proper tax planning, incorporation, and legal support.
- Michael Carroll (Canusa Logistics) outlined how Canadian manufacturers remain competitive under USMCA, enjoying tariff-free supply chains that give them a strategic edge over U.S.-based producers.
- Christopher Somerville (Affleck Green McMurtry LLP) advised businesses to update cross-border contracts to address new risks through force majeure, frustration, and unconscionability clauses.
