37th Annual Ounce of Prevention (OOPS) Seminar

Webinar | 05.10.21 - 05.14.21, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Under the Biden administration, the Government’s regulatory and enforcement priorities are changing and many contractors will experience noticeable differences.  Contractors continue to adapt and persevere over a year into a global pandemic, which has presented challenges and opportunities for industry.  With personnel, safety, and business decisions all impacted by the swirling storm, our team will provide actionable guidance on the latest developments.


During this virtual seminar, our experienced practitioners will be providing updates and insight in a variety of areas, including cybersecurity & privacy, protests, cost & accounting, national security, False Claims Act and intellectual property, and more.  Our program will also feature a conversation with Ellen Lord, the former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.  Our team will also lead a roundtable discussion on the current state of the government contracts transactional landscape.  We hope you can join us!


This program is intended for government contractors only.  Please no private law firms or government employees.

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.
