Butzel Long law firm and the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development recently co-sponsored a program to discuss the risks, opportunities and how local businesses can respond to the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement – USMCA – (NAFTA 2.0). Among the speakers at the Velocity Collaboration Center – Macomb/OU Incubator in Sterling Heights were (seated, left to right) Butzel Long’s Raul Rangel, Catherine Karol, and Les Glick, co-chair of the firm’s International Trade and Customs Specialty Team; along with (standing, left to right) Mitch Zajac, He Xian, and Jim Townsend. “Since the beginning of 2018, we've seen an unprecedented flood of new tariffs either threatened or enacted — tariffs on solar panels and washing machines, steel and aluminum tariffs, tariffs on Chinese imports, tariffs on automobiles and automotive components,” said Jim Townsend, attorney and chair of Butzel’s Macomb County Development Team. He said speakers planned to address “how local companies can seize opportunities and minimize threats to their businesses along with key strategies to protect from shifting trade rules.”
