Legal Ethics in Government Contracting

In the world of government contracting, counsel not only must navigate traditional legal ethics issues; they can also face unique legal ethics issues arising from specific government contracts statutes and regulations, as well as the dynamics of having the United States as the “client” of your adversary. This program will highlight potential pitfalls that government contracts lawyers (including outside counsel, in-house counsel, or government counsel) must avoid in high-stakes matters where there is no room for error – including debriefings, bid protests, due diligence, subcontracting counseling, and investigations.

This Boot Camp will review:

• Government contractor ethics issues versus legal ethics issues faced by government contracts counsel;
• Hypothetical legal ethics issues that can arise for government contracts counsel in the context of the Model Rules; and
• Strategies for mitigating risk to counsel.
