The New B2B-legislation put into practice: Are you ready?

Webinar | 12.08.20, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

Register

There have been some major changes in the B2B landscape recently. Most of these changes are now either in effect or are on the verge of being so. The new rules on unfair market practices entered into force on September 1, 2019 followed by the rules prohibiting abuse of economic dependence on August 22, 2020. And now, on December 1, 2020, the new rules on unlawful contract terms will kick in.


These legislative changes will undoubtedly affect many Belgian companies in their B2B relationships, both on a national and international level. Are you confident that your firm is prepared for this? How can you be better prepared, also bearing in mind that different national frameworks impose different sets of rules? What has practical experience taught us? And what can we learn from foreign precedents? 


During this webinar, Crowell & Moring will provide you with useful information about the practical consequences of this new Belgian legislation, and discuss the opportunities and potential pitfalls it brings with it.

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. ...
