ACC NCR Contracting with the Government in Times of Upheaval – Lessons from the Russian Invasion

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent economic sanctions have significantly impacted the global economy, and U.S. government contractors are not immune to that disruption. As contractors adapt to the new and rapidly changing international landscape, updated and flexible risk mitigation is a necessity.   

In this CLE, attorneys from FH+H will examine the impact of the war in Ukraine and Russian sanctions on the U.S. government contracting community. Specifically,  acquisition strategies for emergency procurements, mechanisms for terminating contracts due to conflicts, sanctions, and changes to U.S. national security policies. The panelists will also consider the unique issues faced when practicing in a small law department during times of crisis.  Lastly, the panel will provide nuanced perspectives on the war in Ukraine and the implications of a conflict with a nuclear adversary.
