Program Summary

Contracting with the Federal Government is not like a business deal between two companies or a contract between a consumer and a commercial contractor. Thus, advising a Government contractor is not like advising another business client. This course will explore those differences. Among other topics we will discuss the unique rights that the Government gives itself, what a contractor needs to know to protect itself, and what the risks are for a contractor that does not understand its legal obligations.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • How is contracting with the Federal Government different from commercial contracting?
  • What are the major laws that govern government contracting?
  • What is the Federal Acquisition Regulation?
  • How does the Federal Government use contracting to accomplish its socio-economic agenda?
  • What are the risks to contractors that do not understand their legal and contractual obligations?
