Policy and Program Development

Government contractors face issues in the performance of their contracts wholly unlike those faced by commercial contractors. Such issues may relate to the socioeconomic objectives sought by the government, specific labor and employment requirements, complex appropriations and funding rules, and special conflict of interest requirements – just to name a few. Potential pitfalls also exist relating to subcontracting, teaming agreements and joint ventures. In addition, unilateral or bilateral changes in the scope of government contracts can distract, and subtract, from a contractor's bottom line.

As such, doing business with the government requires in-depth knowledge of and strict compliance with a complicated web of ever-changing laws and regulations. Establishing effective training programs and internal compliance systems and protocols is not only at times contractually mandated, but it is also the first line of defense to prevent contract disputes from becoming the subject of civil or criminal investigations.
