Attorneys to discuss ‘Fundamentals of Government Contracting’

Members of Butzel's Aerospace & Defense Industry Team will discuss “Fundamentals of Government Contracting, Federal Contracting 101,” during a Michigan Manufacturers Association (MMA) webinar from 1 to 2 p.m., on Tuesday, May 19. 

Attorneys Beth S. Gotthelf, Derek Mullins, and Anthony J. Scalise will share what it takes to successfully enter and operate in the federal marketplace. Butzel attorneys have experience guiding companies of all sizes through the complexities of federal procurement. They will provide practical insights for both new and established contractors. Whether an organization is exploring government contracting for the first time or looking to strengthen its compliance posture, this webinar will help to identify the  requirements that apply to a company, the right questions to ask, better understand potential risks and opportunities and focus on the areas that matter most.

“Government contracts are governed by a unique set of legal and regulatory requirements,” said Derek Mullins. “Contractors must understand those requirements so that they can take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the federal marketplace.”

Scalise added, “As a result of the ongoing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) overhaul changes, it is easier for companies to enter the defense market. For existing manufacturers and new technology companies, the defense market can represent significant growth opportunity. Finding success starts with understanding the contracting process, compliance risks, and how to position your company to compete while meeting the government’s expectations.”
