Please join Holland & Knight's Government Contracts Group for a timely webinar on the legal and compliance challenges of recruiting current and former federal employees.
Between the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the deferred resignation program and other reductions in force, there is an expanded pool of current and former federal employees available for talent acquisition by federal contractors and subcontractors. Hiring current or former federal employees can bring valuable experience to your organization, but it also exposes contractors to regulatory scrutiny and legal risk. Missteps can trigger investigations, contract cancellations, suspension or debarment, and competitive challenges. Understanding these rules is vital to protect your business, maintain compliance and leverage talent without jeopardizing your government contracting opportunities.
During this webinar, our attorneys will demystify the complex web of federal ethics laws, post-employment restrictions and organizational conflict of interest (OCI) rules that govern hiring practices in the government contracting sector. Attendees also will learn how to spot key risk areas, understand recusal and notification requirements, and implement best practices to minimize exposure to criminal penalties, bid protests, lost contracts and reputational harm.
We hope you can join us for this highly informative presentation.
