Presented by the CT Bar Association
About the Program
The supply chain is no longer a foreign concept to most Americans - we all experienced the 2020 pandemic and the consequences that echoed through the economy for many years to come. What may still be foreign to many, including attorneys, is how the government buys the goods and services they need to provide for their citizens. State and local procurement does not follow one set of rules like the federal government, but they do pursue the same goals - open, fair, and transparent competition for business opportunities with the government. Basic knowledge of those government contracting processes could be beneficial in many areas of legal practice.
You Will Learn
• About what makes state and local government procurement unique and the basic processes the government uses to buy
• About the legal foundations and public policy goals behind the government's procurement process
• About what attorneys should know about this important function of the government and how to advise clients who may be involved with government contracting.
Who Should Attend
Any attorney wishing to understand government procurement and contracting on a basic level, those who may have government contractors as clients, and/or those who may come into contact with government contracts in your practice.
