Event Overview

The Role of the Government and Courts in the Lifecycle of Contracts – Procurement, Regulation, and Litigation.

Join us for an insightful and dynamic seminar organized by the AIJA Litigation, T.R.A.D.E., and Public Procurement Commissions, which will explore the multifaceted role of the government and Courts in contractual relationships — from bidding and procurement to contract execution, regulation, and litigation.

Being the 5th Annual Litigation Conference and the 9th Annual T.R.A.D.E. Conference and 4th Public Procurement Conference, the event will feature individual panels on Friday, where each Commission will delve into their specific areas of expertise. PPLC will focus on legal strategies and obstacles faced by bidders seeking government contracts. T.R.A.D.E will examine sensitive aspects of contractual relationships, including performance obligations between private parties, subcontractors, and the government, as well as the government’s influence as a regulator. Lastly, the Litigation sessions will cover key litigation risks, dispute resolution strategies, and best practices for leveraging your client’s position in litigation.

On Saturday, the Commissions will host joint panels on cross-over topics such as litigating government contracts and navigating regulatory hurdles in international government contracts. This seminar promises to provide a comprehensive view of how governments shape, challenge, and participate in contractual frameworks—fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing across practice areas.
