Who: APEX

What: Everything a Small Government Contractor Needs to Know about Teaming and Joint Ventures

Maximizing success as a small business government contractor often involves creating solid teaming partnerships whether under a prime-sub teaming agreement or a joint venture. This webinar will provide essential guidance for small business government contractors on navigating the sometimes-complex legal landscape of teaming agreements and joint ventures in federal contracting. Participants will learn the fundamental differences between various partnership structures, including mentor-protégé relationships, subcontracting arrangements, and joint ventures, with particular emphasis on small business set-aside requirements and compliance obligations. The session will cover:

Key terms of teaming agreements including terms addressing subcontract awards, exclusivity, termination, disputes and choice of law, and workshare allocation.
Teaming agreement enforceability considerations.
Teaming agreements vs. joint ventures: pros and cons of each approach.
Joint ventures generally and use under SBA set-aside programs.
Structuring joint ventures compliant with SBA program requirements including key required terms and use of joint ventures under the SBA’s All-Small Mentor Protégé Program.

Attendees will gain practical insights into drafting effective teaming and joint venture agreements, avoiding common pitfalls that can jeopardize small business certifications, and structuring partnerships to maximize competitive advantages while maintaining compliance and minimizing risk.

TASC/TGIC posting of this event does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by TASC/TGIC.

Who:Virginia SBDC

What: Ask a Business Lawyer: What to Look for Before You Sign

Before signing a loan, contract, or agreement, there are a lot of key things to look for and questions you should ask as a business owner. This session is designed to help you make informed decisions before committing to anything that could impact your business long-term. Structured as a guided FAQ, the presentation will walk through five key questions every business owner should consider before signing, including: what you’re actually agreeing to, what you may be personally risking, what terms can be negotiated, common red flags, and when to involve a lawyer. The goal is not to provide legal advice, but to give you a clear framework to assess risk and protect your business.

Following the presentation, there will be time for general Q&A. While specific contracts cannot be reviewed in a group setting, attendees will have the opportunity to ask broader questions and better understand how to approach legal decisions with confidence.

You'll learn:

How to identify key terms and obligations in contracts and agreements
What personal risk you may be taking on, even with an LLC
Which terms are often negotiable and how to approach them
Common red flags that signal potential issues
When it’s advisable to involve a lawyer before signing

This session is ideal for business owners preparing to apply for financing, enter agreements, or make important decisions that impact their business’s future.
