SolarWinds and Navigating Uncertain and Evolving Threats

Webinar | 12.21.20, 10:00 AM EST - 11:00 AM EST

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) warned that the recent cybersecurity attack on SolarWinds poses a “grave” and “unacceptable” risk to the U.S. government and the nation’s critical infrastructure and issued an Emergency Directive calling on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks and take mitigation and remediation measures including disconnecting or powering down SolarWinds Orion products immediately. 


These unprecedented attacks also put thousands of organizations, including government contractors and SolarWinds’ customers, at risk, and leading to many questions and concerns about how organizations must respond, prudent steps at this juncture, forensic investigations, complex disclosure obligations, and coordination with commercial and government partners. 


In this webinar, practitioners with decades of legal and technical experience to managing cybersecurity incidents will discuss novel issues, best practices, and potential legal consideration triggered by the rapidly evolving situation.

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.
