Program Description
This program will review the most perilous legal and compliance issues that can burn contractors and contracting professionals. From labor requirements and small business changes to cyber challenges and new directives in the 2018 NDAA, we will cover the breadth of legal and compliance issues impacting the government contracting community. We’ll also discuss the new Section 809 Panel report and what it means for the future of government contracting as well as smoldering fires that can turn to large conflagrations.
In this seminar, attendees will learn about:
- The latest legal and compliance challenges
- Mitigation and practical ways to look at potential issues
- What the contracting community should expect from Congress and regulatory authorities in 2018 and beyond
