Administrative Law

: Within the Scope

Thanks for Being Patient

By Eric L. Lipman

I am scheduled to make a presentation at the American Bar Association's 4th Annual State and Local Procurement Symposium in May, and, as noted immediately below, suspended my blogging for a few weeks so that I could complete the article requested by the symposium organizers.

What I addressed in the article is a set of recent upgrades to federal procurement rules that oblige mid-size and large federal contractors to have robust ethics compliance systems. In the monograph, I describe: (1) how the federal government is using the new ethics rules to manage growing portfolios of contract risk; (2) how applying the new ethics regimens to state and local contractors will likely be the next frontier for government regulators; and (3) how contractors of all sizes can begin to think through some of the difficult issues prompted by these new rules.

While the article is fairly lengthy (certainly by blog post standards), I would be grateful for any feedback that the readers of these pages had for me on this piece; which is accessible here.

And thanks for sticking with me?.
