Given the dramatic increase in bid protests over recent years, bid protest litigation is nearly inevitable for any federal government contractor. This course highlights the key advance planning, decision-making, litigation, and litigation avoidance practice pointers for bid protests before an agency, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. This webcast offers insight for beginners on the essentials of where and how to protest, and it also provides information on substantive developments for more experienced practitioners.
A sample of topics to be discussed include:
- Preparing to protest: strategic considerations when deciding whether to protest
- Filing a protest: the fundamentals of litigating a protest, including timeliness traps and protective order dangers
- Forum selection: the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing a protest before an agency, the GAO, and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims
The discussion will be led by Government Contracts attorneys and bid protest specialists, Amy L. OSullivan and Puja Satiani, of Crowell & Moring, LLP. Ms. OSullivan and Ms. Satiani have been involved in notable bid protests in recent years at the agency level and before both GAO and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
