Overview
Why You Should Attend
Companies and organizations conducting business or aiming to do so with state and local government entities must adhere to a complex web of procurement, ethics, and compliance laws that govern the government contracting process. Non-compliance or the mere appearance of impropriety adhering to these intricate regulations can jeopardize contract eligibility, potentially disqualifying companies from valuable contracting opportunities for an extended period or even void existing contracts. This half-day program of advanced topics in ethics and compliance will focus on legal issues facing those engaging in state and local government contracting. A spin-off of the PLI’s Corporate Political Activities program and a complement to PLI’s Government Contracts program, this focused discussion is designed for those who seek best practices and practical solutions to navigating the often-complex arena of state and local government contracting.
