Delve into the hot topic of tariffs and their impact on financially distressed customers. This session during NACM's Credit Congress & Expo will begin with an insightful overview of the tariffs currently in effect and the challenges pending in the United States Supreme Court. This sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on how tariffs are impacting various industries, including retail, automotive, solar, pharmaceuticals, and other manufacturing, trucking, farming, small businesses and companies that are already highly leveraged and financially distressed. We'll then explore how tariffs have heightened the risk of bankruptcy filings, including providing real-world examples where tariffs have played a contributory role in bankruptcy cases. Additionally, the speakers will delve into contract provisions that can protect buyers and sellers of goods facing heightened tariff risk and explore how tariffs can increase the value of a financially distressed customer.
