The fall brings many nice things: cooler weather, beautiful leaves, and of course, the Government’s fiscal year end. To those wondering where in the world Kilpatrick’s government contracts attorneys have been (because they sure haven’t been putting up blog posts), we’ve had our heads down plugging away at bid protests, contract funding issues, and debarment proceedings. Not to worry though, we’ve got many upcoming webinars and events to make sure you stay up to date with what’s going in the world of government contracts:
