TYSONS CORNER, VA.—Does your company or organization fall under the umbrella of being a government contractor? You may think you know the answer—but you might be surprised.
 

Veteran government contracts attorney Holly Emerick Svetz has written a new article entitled “You Say You Aren’t a Government Contractor—Or Is It Just Wishful Thinking?” The article helps companies assess whether or not they fall under the laws and regulations governing contractors and subcontractors providing goods or services to the government. Attorney Steve Cave assisted Svetz in preparing the article.

 

The article appears in the current issue of “Focus on WMACCA,” a publication of the Washington Metropolitan Area Association of Corporate Counsel.
