core/separator

Blank Rome presented a new summer webinar series where our interdisciplinary team unpacked the most pressing legal, regulatory, and policy developments from the Trump administration’s first 180 days.

core/paragraph

Each session offered timely insights on how these changes are reshaping industries, compliance strategies, and the broader legal landscape.

From Department of Justice enforcement policies and healthcare regulations to trade sanctions, labor law shifts, and climate litigation, our panels covered a wide range of critical topics.

Attendees customized their experience by selecting the sessions most relevant to their goals, whether navigating government contracts, artificial intelligence (“AI”), cybersecurity, or the administration’s deregulation agenda.

The series was held Tuesday through Thursday beginning Thursday, July 17, and ending Wednesday, August 13, with one-hour sessions each day at 12:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. CT / 9:00 a.m. PT.
