Government Contracts

Winston & Strawn helps companies assess their business environment, and develop and implement and maintain internal compliance programs.  We understand that efficient operations are paramount, and we work closely with our clients to tailor programs based upon the size and nature of the organization, as well as their contractual and regulatory obligations.  Representative examples of our experience in this area include:

• Designing and conducting an internal compliance audit of a Fortune 50 U.S. defense contractor on government contracts and export control compliance.
  
• Designing and implementing an Ethics and Corporate Compliance Plan and conducting key person training for a company with more than 30 geographically dispersed operating locations.
  
• Counseling the U.S. subsidiary of Indian Engineering firm on License Agreements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
  
• Internal review of a major supplier of commercial products to the Department of Defense for compliance with Buy American Act, export controls, and other contractual and regulatory requirements.  Assisted with the implementation of a training program with a tiered approach for senior management, mid-level management, and field sales team members.
