Termination—whether for default or for convenience—is a risk present in every federal contract, and understanding how to navigate it is critical for protecting your business. This webinar offers a comprehensive overview of the key Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses governing terminations, focusing on the crucial differences between terminations for default and terminations for convenience. Attendees will explore procedures, consequences, and contractor rights under each type, while gaining practical strategies to mitigate risk, submit compliant termination proposals, and challenge problematic decisions.

Through real-world insights and expert guidance, participants will walk away better prepared to manage termination risks and defend their interests in the federal contracting space.

• Distinguish between termination for default and termination for convenience
• Navigate the procedures and consequences of each type
• Assert contractor rights and fulfill obligations effectively
• Apply strategies to reduce risk, respond to terminations, and pursue remedies when needed
