Shaping US Trade Policy: A Conversation with the Office of the United States Trade Representative
Webinar | 08.18.21, 2:30 AM PDT - 3:45 AM PDT
US trade policy and the multilateral trading system has undergone significant shifts in recent years and there is much at stake in how members of President Biden's administration will shape the US trade agenda going forward. USTR, a creation of Congress that is part of the Executive Office of the President, plays a critical role in the development, implementation and enforcement of US trade policy.
Join the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce Global Initiatives Council for an in-depth conversation with Greta Peisch, General Counsel for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative as she shares insights on the administration's trade agenda and what lies ahead for US trade policy. The conversation will be led by the Council Chair, Crowell & Moring’s Nicole Simonian.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. 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.
