Description:

Government contracting is an inherently competitive enterprise, and employers frequently seek to hire former government personnel with valuable acquisition and contract administration experience. However, both the Procurement Integrity Act (PIA) and the U.S. Criminal Code impose strict limits on what former government employees may do when working for a government contractor. These restrictions can affect recruitment, proposal preparation, negotiations, communications with federal agencies, and post-award conduct.

Failure to comply with these laws can expose employers to significant civil and criminal penalties. Join PilieroMazza’s Sara Ryan and Abby Finan as they breakdown the rules, responsibilities, and practical steps contractors should take to avoid costly violations. Whether you are a contractor hiring former federal personnel or a former government employee navigating post-government employment, this session will help you understand the boundaries and mitigate risk.

Learning objectives:

  • identify key restrictions;
  • determine who carries compliance responsibilities; and
  • implement practical compliance strategies.
