Whether your organization is exploring government contracting for the first time or looking to strengthen its compliance posture, this webinar will help you identify the requirements that apply to your company, the right questions to ask, better understand potential risks and opportunities and focus on the areas that matter most.

“Government contracts are governed by a unique set of legal and regulatory requirements,” said Butzel attorney Derek Mullins. “Contractors must understand those requirements so that they can take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the federal marketplace.”

Butzel attorney Anthony J. Scalise added, “As a result of the ongoing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) overhaul changes, it is easier for companies to enter the defense market. For existing manufacturers and new technology companies, the defense market can represent significant growth opportunity. Finding success starts with understanding the contracting process, compliance risks, and how to position your company to compete while meeting the government’s expectations.”
