Cosponsored with the Construction Law and Public Contracts Section of the Virginia State Bar
The Construction Law and Public Contracts Section of the Virginia State Bar specially designed this annual event in response to requests from practitioners for quality programming in the field of federal government contracting. Our expert faculty will cover important topics and present exceptional materials. Now in its tenth year, this four-hour seminar focuses on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions, recent trends in delay claims and damages analysis, and federal construction contract terminations.
Join us in Fairfax for this annual seminar and benefit from hearing valuable information shared by your colleagues regarding federal government contracting. Enjoy a continental breakfast at the Hilton Fairfax with complimentary parking!
You also have the option to experience this annual seminar from the convenience of your home or office (by live-interactive webcast or telephone) and still be able to ask questions of the speakers.
