Contract Drafting in Light of Recent Legislative Changes

Webinar | 05.19.22, 7:00 AM CDT - 9:00 AM CDT

Register

The legislative framework for contract drafting is rapidly evolving. A revised Book of the Belgian Civil Code on obligations (which is likely to be adopted after the Easter holidays), a recent change in the law to combat late payment between companies, and the existing rules on B2B contracts in the Code of Economic law all need to be taken into account. 

Key concepts, principles and rules that are ingrained in the minds of every legal practitioner are or will be modified by these legislative changes (for example, concerning the possibility to invoke hardship, or the possibility of anticipatory breach). Moreover, the relationship between the various legal provisions is not always immediately clear. 

In this webinar, we will take a look at the new and existing laws, and discuss their practical impact. We will provide useful examples and tips and tricks on how to draft and interpret commercial contracts within the current and upcoming legislative rules.

As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
