WEBINAR: Building a Border Wall: Opportunities, Contractual Risks, and Business Considerations
Webinar | 04.25.17, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:30 AM EDT
The Trump administration published two contract solicitations for the design-build of a “border wall” between the U.S. and Mexico, one of the earliest and oft-repeated campaign promises. The RFPs (linked here and here) contemplate a multiple-award, multiple-phase approach for acquiring prototypes and, eventually, full construction.
With contemplated billion-dollar budgets, opportunities abound for prime and subcontractors. But government contractors must also be aware of the potential contractual risks with such a unique, large-scale border project involving eminent domain, such as potential changes, delays, differing site conditions, security considerations, and funding shortfalls. There are also unique business risks, with several local governments already considering proposals to “blacklist” contractors that participate.

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.
