Обязанности
- has just secured a landmark shipyard contract. This is a significant and complex program, and we need a lawyer who can operate at the intersection of government contracts law and corporate transactions. In this role, you will provide legal counsel across four critical lines of effort: (1) government contracting; (2) corporate formation and governance; (3) financing and credit documentation; and (4) entity structure. This role demands someone who can move fluidly between negotiating FAR/DFARS flow-downs in the morning and drafting company governance documents in the afternoon. The Legal Counsel, Maritime will be expected to take ownership of significant, material projects with major impact on the Maritime Division and 's future. This is not a pure government contracts role, nor a pure corporate role, it requires the rare combination of both skill sets and the judgment to know when each applies.
Требования
- 5+ years of combined experience in government contracts law and corporate/transactional law (more senior lawyers are encouraged to apply; the position may be adjusted based on experience)
- Strong government contracts foundation: Deep understanding of FAR/DFARS, contract vehicles, UCAs and definitization, FAR Part 12 vs. Part 15, flow-down requirements, and data rights
