Regulatory Compliance in Government Contracting
Government contracts require strict adherence to regulations and compliance standards. I provide guidance on federal regulations such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), agency FAR supplements (e.g., DFARS), and Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations. As an experienced government contracts attorney, I support regulatory compliance in numerous ways.
1. Interpreting Complex Regulations
Offering clear explanations and interpretations of federal regulations, ensuring clients understand their obligations and rights under the FAR, DFARS, and other pertinent regulations.
2. Advising on Contract Clauses and Flow-Downs
Providing strategic advice and negotiating contract clauses to align with client objectives and comply with regulatory requirements.
Guiding clients on the appropriate flow-down clauses to include in subcontracts and purchase orders to maintain compliance throughout the supply chain.
3. Disclosure Requirements
Advising on disclosure obligations, including mandatory and voluntary disclosures, to ensure clients fulfill their reporting requirements accurately and timely.
4. Ethical Considerations
Offering counsel on ethical considerations in government contracting, including post-government employment, conflicts of interest, gift and gratuity rules, and compliance with standards of conduct.
Developing policies and procedures to promote ethical behavior and prevent violations that could jeopardize contract performance or eligibility for future contracts.
5. Mitigating Compliance Risks
Conducting compliance assessments and audits to identify potential areas of non-compliance and implementing corrective actions to mitigate risks.
Assisting in the preparation of compliance documentation, including certifications and representations required by government agencies.
6. Averting Penalties and Sanctions
Proactively addressing compliance issues to prevent costly penalties, sanctions, or contract terminations.
Representing clients in investigations or enforcement actions by government agencies, advocating for favorable resolutions and minimizing adverse consequences.
7. Enhanced Competitive Position
Compliance with contract requirements, laws, and regulations improves performance and enhances a company’s reputation, making it a more attractive candidate for future opportunities.
By providing guidance on regulatory compliance, I help clients adhere to applicable laws and regulations and safeguard their interests in contractual relationships with the government.
