Vinson & Elkins Sponsoring and Speaking at the NYU Tax Controversy Forum

Events

Vinson & Elkins is a Gold sponsor of the NYU Tax Controversy Forum, taking place June 25–26 in New York.

Counsel Stephen Josey will speak on a panel titled “Learning from Learning Resources: Update on Tariff Enforcement and Refunds” on Friday, June 26 at 3:50 p.m. ET. In its landmark 6–3 decision in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, the Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the President authority to impose tariffs. This ruling created an unprecedented administrative scramble for refunds of billions of dollars paid pursuant to now-terminated Executive Orders. The panelists will examine the Court’s analysis and its implications for the legal framework and policy considerations governing customs duties.

Partners Kathy Pakenham and Adriana Wirtz, along with associates Brie Barry, Phillip Clifton, Kylan Kinkade, and Zach Willis, are also attending.
