Contract Negotiation and Formation
Our Government Contracting Group understands the complicated contractual provisions related to federal government contracts, and we have extensive experience negotiating and drafting FAR-compliant subcontracts. Whether our client is the prime contractor or the subcontractor, we know how to structure a subcontract that contains the mandatory flow down provisions but still protects our clients’ best interest.
Our attorneys review and analyze a document’s key provisions and implications before execution to help clients avoid or prepare themselves for issues that commonly arise. With our knowledge of the industry and our experience litigating issues relating to contractual language, clients trust us to protect their interests, minimize their risk and exposure, and ultimately avoid future disputes.
Our Group also has extensive experience with Teaming Agreements, Joint Ventures, and Mentor-Protégé Agreements. For small businesses looking to expand capabilities and large businesses looking for access to set-aside contracts, teaming, joint venturing or forming a mentor-protégé relationship can greatly broaden federal contracting opportunities. When done incorrectly, however, these types of agreements can have disastrous consequences for both large and small businesses. Our extensive knowledge concerning small business procurement allows us to draft agreements that satisfy the needs of all of the parties involved while ensuring compliance with the SBA and VA’s small business program regulations.
