SUMMARY:Partnering for Success On Federal Projects: Teaming, Joint Ventures, and the Mentor Protégé Programs
DESCRIPTION:\nIf you are in federal contracting, you have almost certainly heard of joint venturing and, relatedly, the Mentor-Protégé programs. When used correctly, these strategies can greatly increase both large and small businesses’ contract/subcontract opportunities, and give revenue a boost.\nWhen used incorrectly, however, it can have serious negative consequences for the businesses involved. Indeed, it can be harder than it seems to use these strategies correctly, without running afoul of the small business regulations. If you want to succeed, you have to understand the complex web of rules and regulations in place, and learn how to identify and avoid common pitfalls. In this webinar, experienced government contracting attorney Maria Panichelli will teach attendees how to do just that. Maria will start off with a primer on joint venture affiliation, and how the mentor protégé program became a de facto prerequisite to many joint ventures. Maria will then provide a detailed overview of the SBA and DoD (DoW) mentor protégé program, including recent changes in the regulations, and common contractor mistakes. Finally, she will turn to the requirements for mentor-protégé joint ventures, including JV agreement obligations, work-share and protégé performance percentages, as well as ongoing reporting requirements. Attendees will leave ready to start their mentor protégé journey, armed with the tools they need to do it correctly.\n \n\nTuesday, August 11, 2026 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Central\nLocation: Online\nSpeaker(s): Maria Panichelli, Esq., Partner, Government Contracts, McCarter & English, LLP.\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ( https://apex.uhbauer.org/reg.aspx?mode=event&event=11460170 )\n
