Benesch Partner Jonathan Todd Quoted in Law360 on Tariff Refund Litigation and Strategy

Jonathan Todd, vice chair of Benesch’s Transportation & Logistics Practice Group, was recently quoted in a Law360 article examining the complex legal battles emerging as companies, business partners, and consumers compete for refunds of $166 billion in tariffs invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court, highlighting disputes over who is entitled to recover the money and how far litigation and regulatory scrutiny may extend.

In the article, Jonathan discusses how companies should prepare for prolonged legal and strategic uncertainty following the Supreme Court’s invalidation of certain Trump‑era tariffs, emphasizing that refund claims, litigation, and tariff management will likely extend well into the future. He underscores the importance of proactive planning across supply chains as businesses reassess contracts, relationships, and exposure to additional tariff challenges.

“The next three months will be critical, and the balance of the year will be critical to how companies set tariff management strategy for dealing with their business relationships and also litigation strategy,” Jonathan said.
