March 11: Terms and Conditions: Which Do You Really Need and What's the Real Impact?

When:  Mar 11, 2021 from 12:00 to 13:30 (ET)
Registration Coming Soon!

Contract terms and conditions directly impact the cost, quality and delivery of a contract scope of work.  Sometimes buyers take the approach of including as many terms as possible in the hope of avoiding risk and sometimes sellers accept terms and conditions without recognizing their full impact.  


This webinar will take a practical look at the most impactful terms and conditions in U.S. federal government contracting. The presenter will lay out specifics on how to plan terms and conditions in the early acquisition stages, discuss when and what to negotiate and how to avoid the negative impact of improper or unnecessary terms.   The session will look at specific terms from the government buyer, prime contractor and subcontractor perspectives. 


Learning Objectives:
  1. Plan terms and conditions at the market research stage.
  2. Decide which clauses are negotiable.
  3. Recognize the impact of agreeing to the wrong clause.
