Terminations for Convenience: Maximizing Recovery

Pepper partner Hilary S. Cairnie will present the webcast “Terminations for Convenience: Maximizing Recovery.” Mr. Cairnie will lay out the issues that may arise in case of a termination for convenience by the federal government.

He will then review the duties both the contractor and the Government must undertake during the termination process, and lays out strategic issues contractors should consider before entering settlement negotiations with the Government. Finally, he will discuss ways to ensure contractors can recover the maximum amount of their allowable costs, as well as lost profits, and how contractors may seek relief from an undesirable settlement.
