Government contracting - tips and traps
In-house counsel are often tasked with negotiating contracts with Federal or State governments or their agencies for the supply of goods or services or provision of works, or for the delivery (including construction and financing) and/or operation of public infrastructure such as transport, schools and hospitals. Contracting with government raises some unique legal issues and particular challenges which can trip up the unwary and give rise to risk of contract termination, invalidity or unenforceability. Governments themselves and their agencies also face policy issues and requirements which need to be addressed in contracts with the private sector.
