Overview

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.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Discuss how contracting with the Federal Government is different from commercial contracting

  2. Identify the major laws that govern government contracting

  3. Review the Federal Acquisition Regulation

  4. Analyze how the Federal Government uses contracting to accomplish its socio-economic agenda

  5. Avoid the risks to contractors that don't understand their legal and contractual obligations
