Gibson Dunn announces release of Edition 16 of Lexology In-Depth: International Investigations.

The Bavarian Highest Regional Court has held that a foreign State may not invoke sovereign immunity to resist the recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award arising from a commercial arms-supply contract, and that a State which participates in the arbitration – all the more so where it brings a counterclaim – is precluded from later challenging the arbitration agreement before the German courts.

On June 6, 2026, a federal district court vacated IRS Notice 2025-42 in full, holding that the IRS acted arbitrarily and capriciously in eliminating the “Five Percent Safe Harbor” for certain tax credit-eligible wind and large solar projects seeking a longer completion deadline. Unless stayed or reversed on appeal, the decision restores that safe harbor for all such projects — though substantial uncertainty remains ahead of the OBBBA's July 4, 2026 grandfathering deadline.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has proposed forced labor-related tariffs that are about more than forced labor: they are an early test of whether the Trump Administration can use traditional trade authorities to rebuild broad tariff coverage after the Supreme Court invalidated the President's novel IEEPA tariffs. The proposal, issued under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, would impose new 10% or 12.5% duties on products of 60 economies that USTR found either lack, or do not effectively enforce, a ban on imports of goods with forced labor. If finalized, the tariffs may offer a more process-heavy—but potentially more legally durable—alternative to emergency tariff authorities, provided USTR develops a reasoned record, responds to significant comments, and connects the remedy to its statutory findings.
