Mitigating Risk: Terminations for Convenience
In today’s Federal contracting landscape, unexpected contract terminations can create serious financial and operational disruptions for small businesses. One of the most common—and complex—contract clauses is the government’s right to terminate a contract “for convenience.”
This webinar will equip small businesses with a foundational understanding of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 49, which governs Federal contract terminations. You’ll learn the steps the government, prime contractors, and subcontractors must take when a contract is terminated, as well as how to prepare for and respond to each phase of the process.
Whether you’ve recently faced a termination or want to manage risk proactively, this training will walk you through the practical implications of FAR Part 49 and help you gain clarity on what to expect, what’s required, and how to protect your business. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your understanding of government contract terminations and prepare your business to respond with confidence!
Webinar topics include:
- Overview of FAR Part 49 and its role in federal contracting
- Government responsibilities during a termination
- Contractor obligations and rights
- Tips for safeguarding your business and minimizing disruption
