Navigating the New Era of U.S. Government Contracting: Strategies for Commercial Companies and “Non-traditional” Contractors

In this complimentary webinar, Freshfields Counsel Nathan Castellano will present practical strategies for commercial companies doing business with the U.S. government and explain how recent developments are reshaping the U.S. procurement market.

U.S. federal agencies are entering a period of rapid transformation in how they acquire commercial technologies and engage with private‑sector partners. For commercial companies—including global enterprises and “non‑traditional” contractors with limited experience in the U.S. public sector—recent reforms present significant opportunities.

But seller beware: the U.S. Government is not a commercial customer, and some aspects of doing business with the U.S. government will never be the same as dealing with a private party.  Without careful planning and diligent execution, the value proposition of any U.S. government contract can be quickly undermined by sovereign immunity, “boilerplate” contract terms, and the civil False Claims Act FCA (among other perils).

In this webinar, participants will learn the strategies that commercial companies can use to build and maintain a successful business relationship with U.S. federal agencies.

The live webinar will begin at 1:00 PM Eastern, on Thursday, February 5, 2026.
