Government contracts practice

US and international businesses performing US government contract work face many challenges and opportunities in an environment where federal procurement laws, regulations, and budget priorities change frequently. While federal acquisition processes are slowly yielding to reform, industry and government often have different expectations of reform and progress is slow. As a result, government contractors must put into place effective systems, controls, and strategies that enable them to succeed in this changing environment.
