Best Practices in the Acquisition of a Government Contractor

"The purpose of this manual is not to summarize all aspects of the law or to opine on what the law should be. Our purpose is also not to teach government contracts lawyers all they need to know about corporate law or, alternatively, to make corporate lawyers experts in government contracts. Instead, this guide is written to identify key transactional issues that arise in transactions involving government contractors across corporate, antitrust, political, foreign investment and other areas of law. Our goal is to provide audiences with targeted, and most importantly, useful advice from practitioners who have been involved in hundreds of transactions (often on opposite sides of each other). It is our hope that readers will learn from our hard-earned experience in the form of bold "Best Practice Tips" and this volume's highly structured, easy to reference format. Each page is designed to allow a reader to quickly grasp a key issue to readily deploy in their practice. This volume also includes detailed appendices and forms that will help practitioners to supplement their existing forms, gather key documents and perform comprehensive government contracts due diligence"--
