Alex Breckinridge, a partner in the Litigation Practice Group, and Julia Banegas, special counsel in the Maritime Practice Group, were quoted in the article "Consumers Are on the Hunt for Tariff Refunds. Can They Win?" published by Law.com on March 16, 2026. In the article, Alex and Julia share their insights on companies working directly with importers and their ability to secure tariff refunds. Alex notes that importers are under pressure to voluntarily issue tariff refunds. He also highlights the possibility of direct retailers facing class-action lawsuits, which would depend on evidence showing that these costs were passed on to consumers. Julia explains that companies are more likely to have contracts explicitly documenting the tariffs an importer was paying and, therefore, are more likely to secure refunds.
