Book Description:
Government Contracts Settlements & Negotiations is an authoritative, insider's guide to the best practices for negotiating contract terms and settling disputes between government agencies, contractors, and commercial companies. Featuring partners and shareholders from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the intricacies of government contract negotiations as they highlight the frequently negotiated provisions, key players, and common liability issues involved in the process. These top lawyers reveal their advice for successfully resolving various types of disputes through settlement, including bid protests, contract termination, and government defaults, as well as discuss the unique attributes of negotiating with the government. Additionally, these leaders reveal strategies for planning defensively, avoiding common mistakes, and understanding the client's business goals in order to achieve a successful outcome. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever evolving field. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
