APEX ACCELERATOR: Communicating with Government Contracting Officials: What Can (and Should) Contractors Really Say and Do? (2024 Update)

Event description

When it comes to effective communication, the government and industry often get it wrong. Misconceptions and misunderstandings abound and can prove very costly for contractors.

In this webinar, government contracts attorneys Nicole Pottroff and John Holtz debunk some of the most common myths and misunderstandings held by contractors, including when and how you can communicate one-on-one with a contracting officer, who has authority to modify your contract, what to do when an unauthorized official gives you instructions, how the government gratuities rules differ from standard commercial practice, and much more.

Target Audience: Companies seeking federal contracting opportunities
