Denver Government Contracts Seminar

Join Crowell & Moring for Our Denver Government Contracts Seminar: Doing Business with the U.S. Government
The U.S. Government is investing more money than ever in new and emerging technologies, through R&D and procurement contracts, Other Transactions, and federal grant funding, even as it continues to spend in traditional aerospace, defense, and construction markets. This is a great opportunity to connect in person and explore the significant legal issues impacting companies in the Denver area doing business with federal, state, and local governments.
