Critical Concepts on Federal Government Construction Contracts

Federal government contracting is a highly specialized industry. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its supplementary regulations impose a host of obligations on contractors that can impact how a contract is performed. These rules and regulations also dictate how contractors can seek compensation for unanticipated issues and costs incurred on the job. Federal construction contracts are even more specialized, and familiarity with the specific FAR clauses addressing construction issues is critical to success.

In this webinar, experienced government contracting attorney Maria Panichelli will walk attendees through:

• The most common construction-related issues such as defective designs and specifications, differing site conditions, contract changes, suspensions, delays and contract terminations
• The Contract Disputes Act litigation process used when bringing claims based on these issues
• Defenses used by the government when fighting these claims
• Critical strategies to beat these defenses successfully
