Coronavirus & Contracting: Preserving Your Rights and Navigating Evolving Obstacles of Delays, Changes, Stop Work, and Terminations, While Supporting Government Operations, During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Webinar | 03.23.20, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

The COVID-19 Pandemic continues to cause disruptions across nearly all industrial sectors, including the government contracting industry.  As contractors attempt to respond to challenges in providing support to government customers, meeting contract and staffing requirements, and adhering to contract terms and a flurry of new federal, state and local directives, companies should be aware of how to minimize disruptions, preserve their rights, and avoid bad practices that could increase post-pandemic legal risk.  


During this webinar, Crowell & Moring’s government contracts lawyers will address several ways to manage key performance risks, including delays, disruption, changes, and other collateral consequences related to the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
