The New Normal: What U.S. Government Contractors and Grant Recipients Need to Know About Terminations, Stop Work Orders, Tariffs, and the Path Forward in 2025

Webinar | 02.06.25, 1:00 PM EST - 2:00 PM EST

Address

Virtual

Over the past two weeks, the U.S. Government has issued policy statements and Executive Orders with far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Some federal government agencies have already directed contractors and grant recipients to stop work, while others have already begun to de-scope contracts, and issue termination notices. The U.S. Government has also announced new tariffs on goods coming from Canada, Mexico, and China. The impacts of these policy directives and their implementation are significant – for private companies, non-profits, and universities.

In this webinar, Crowell & Moring lawyers specializing in U.S. government contracts and grants will focus on:

  • Stop Work Orders
  • De-Scoping Contracts and Grants
  • Partial and Full Terminations for Convenience
  • The Impact of New Tariffs

Our discussion will focus on the steps that contractors and grant recipients can take now, to preserve your rights and protect the bottom line. This includes responding to and negotiating with government counterparties, providing notice where required, and how to think about cost recovery strategies for affected contractors and grant recipients.

This complimentary webinar is for government contractors only, no outside law firms or government personnel.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term

The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
