Federal contracting is complicated. Subcontracting on federal jobs can sometimes be even more so. A successful subcontracting relationship on a federal project requires the parties to consider not only their own interests, but also the interests of the end user, the government. This balancing act requires attention to detail, strategic problem solving, and an informed understanding of the bigger picture and all of its moving pieces. In this webinar, Maria Panichelli explains how to successfully navigate the subcontracting process as a prime, and as a sub. This webinar covers essential issues that prime contractors and subcontractors must keep in mind when negotiating and drafting subcontracts for use on federal projects, including FAR flow-down clauses and other critical provisions, and disputes and payment clauses. Pass-through claims and claims between prime and subcontractors will also be discussed. Primes will learn how to structure an agreement to avoid a two-front battle between the owner and subcontractors. Subs will learn how to avoid getting lost among confusing and conflicting contract clauses, or get stuck without remedy for damages incurred.
