9 Key Parts Of DOD's Better Buying Power 2.0 Initiative

Many of the areas addressed in the U.S. Department of Defense’s Better Buying Power 2.0 implementation directive will likely have a significant financial impact on contractors — in both positive and negative ways, say attorneys with McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP.
Best Practices To Lessen Revolving-Door Risk

While many government employees successfully transition to the private sector, failing to observe the revolving-door laws and regulations can result in severe consequences for both the contractor and the government employee. A recent example of what can go wrong for both is the case of Timothy Cannon and the Gallup Organization, say attorneys with Morrison & Foerster LLP.
FRCP Changes Will Have Major Impact On 3rd-Party Discovery

The U.S. Supreme Court recently endorsed significant changes to Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that will greatly simplify the third-party subpoena process, but the changes do not go as far as some would have liked in centralizing third-party discovery disputes to the court where the litigation is pending, say Mark Klapow and Ariel Applebaum-Bauch of Crowell & Moring LLP.
Forensic Analytics Can Find Needles In Multiple Haystacks

Forensic analytics is indispensable to any situation involving voluminous transactions or other large amounts of data. Yet, too few attorneys or organizations use, or maximize, forensic analytics to its fullest benefit. The recently publicized European soccer match-fixing scandal provides a handy illustration, say Jonny Frank and Alex Lefferts of StoneTurn Group LLP.

After a recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision, it is without question that an agency’s decision to reject all bids or cancel a solicitation is not subject to legal challenge — in any forum. Bidders who have submitted proposals to a commonwealth agency, only to have the agency withdraw the solicitation, simply have no recourse, say attorneys with Pepper Hamilton LLP.
A Financial Institution’s Fraud On Itself Triggers FIRREA

The decision in United States v. Bank of New York Mellon not only expands the ability of the U.S. Department of Justice to aggressively use the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act to target alleged financial fraud, but also will likely impact other pending cases, including two in the Southern District of New York that raise the same issue, say Matthew Previn and Michelle Rogers of BuckleySandler LLP.
Parsing The 4th Circ. Stance In Campbell V. Hanover

Almost 50 years after its Decker decision, the Fourth Circuit in Campbell v. Hanover Insurance Co. — In re ESA Environmental Specialists Inc. — has reaffirmed the vitality of the earmarking defense. The decision also allowed the Fourth Circuit to shed light on the contemporaneous exchange for new value defense, say Jason Harbour and Tara Elgie of Hunton & Williams LLP.

How To Navigate Federal Affirmative Action Compliance

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs recently has increased the frequency and intensity of its affirmative action audits.
