This is a must course for contracting professionals!

For over 30 years this premier program has been the leading seminar on the Service Contract Act (“SCA”). In recent years, with the greater emphasis on A-76 competitions, the rules and implementation of the SCA have been of increasing importance to A-76 competitions.

Taught by the leading instructors on the SCA — Professor Gil Ginsburg, Daniel B. Abrahams, Shlomo D. Katz and William Gross — the course will lay out and explain both Government and industry rights and responsibilities.

Professor Ginsberg, a leading practitioner and educator in the area of Procurement Law, has trained thousands of Government contract professionals in the intricacies of the SCA.

William Gross has recently been added to the faculty of the Institute. As the former Director of Wage Determinations of the U.S. Department of Labor, this most distinguished expert will speak on the second day of the SCA Course on the topic “The View form the DOL.”

Mr. Abrahams is a partner in the Washington, DC office of the law firm of Brown Rudnick, where he manages the firms Wage & Hour Group.

Mr. Katz has recently been added to the faculty of the Institute. He is a Counsel in the Washington, D.C. office of Brown Rudnick LLP, where he represents clients in all areas of Government Contracts and wage and hour law.

The training as well as the comprehensive manual provided to each attendee will provide the novice with the tools needed to comply with this Act and the senior professional the nuances of and the latest developments relating to the Act.

In the past, many attendees have raised with the instructors, either in class or privately during breaks, issues they have on how to handle particular SCA situations.
