Navigating an Evolving Supply Chain Landscape in the Face of the Coronavirus Pandemic

Webinar | 03.25.20, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:30 AM EDT

Address

Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner

Register

The Coronavirus Pandemic continues to cause disruptions and highlight vulnerabilities in supply chains across nearly all industrial sectors. As businesses attempt to respond to challenges in obtaining parts and supplies, meeting contract supply and staffing requirements, and adhering to CDC recommendations, companies should be aware of how to minimize disruptions, preserve their rights, and avoid bad practices that could enhance post-pandemic legal risk. The declaration of a national emergency, amongst other recent acts, have opened doors for new contracts and contract modifications. Meanwhile, bad actors should be expected to seek opportunities to take advantage of the telework, general chaos, and component scarcity.


During this webinar, Crowell & Moring’s government contracts, international trade, and privacy and cybersecurity lawyers will address cyber, personnel, performance, and manufacturing risks during this challenging time and practices for defending against these risks. This analysis will be integrated with a review of equitable adjustments, tort liability immunity, and indemnification protections that may be available for businesses at this time.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
