This program is designed to educate attendees unfamiliar with government contracts on recognizing common government contracting compliance issues and how compliance failures may result in organizational liability. Government contracts incorporate a myriad of legal practice areas, including employment, intellectual property, international law, ethics and accounting, to name but a few. In a complex legal arena where a breach of contract can result in civil or criminal fraud investigations, a firm understanding of compliance policies and procedures is a must for all corporate counsel.
This session will take an in-depth look at the following contract clauses with an eye toward litigation. Clause topic areas to be examined include: limitation of liability; "backdoor indemnity" (e.g., warranty); the interplay between the warranty clause, the limitation of liability and indemnification; and the difference between the epidemic failure clause and the warranty clause.
