The Government Contracts and Corporate Groups at Crowell & Moring LLP are pleased to announce our Compliance “Check-Up” for Government Contractors, focused on providing pre-sale advice to government contractors and private equity sponsors contemplating selling or fundraising in the current market. Our team of over 80 experienced government contracts and transactional professionals stands ready to assist clients by providing (at no cost) a “Check-Up” – a diagnostic review of key diligence questions, aimed at identifying common compliance issues that can drive down sales prices and/or increase borrowing costs. By identifying these issues early in the diligence process, sellers can avoid common traps that may negatively impact deal terms, complicate reps and warranties, and make post-merger integration more difficult and expensive.

On Friday, April 10, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has agreed to pay just over $17 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act (FCA) by failing to comply with federal anti-discrimination requirements incorporated into its federal contracts due to allegedly discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employment practices. This resolution marks the first FCA settlement secured by the DOJ under its Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, created in May 2025, and announced by then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as part of the administration’s coordinated efforts to target allegedly unlawful DEI practices. Per the agreement, the settlement is neither an admission of liability by IBM nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not well founded.
