The Court of Federal Claims Bar Association will host a free luncheon program from 12:00-1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22nd, in the Tayloe House, which is adjacent to the National Courts Building, 717 Madison Place, Washington, D.C. The program is part of the bar association’s “brown bag” series, but will include a free lunch at this session.
At the upcoming session, the Takings Committee of the bar association has decided to address a topic that impacts practitioners in all areas of the court’s practice: settling cases with the United States. The panel will include practitioners from both the Department of Justice and private practice. Topics will include the mechanics of settling cases with the United States as well as a discussion of the different settlement tools that can assist parties in reaching settlements; in short, everything you always wanted to know about negotiations between the private and government sector.
Given the broad applicability of this subject, all members are encouraged to attend and to bring along practitioners who have not yet joined the CFC bar association but who practice before the CFC. Additionally, the Takings Committee encourages members to respond to send e-mails with any questions or comments you may wish to put to the panel concerning a settlement process between private parties and the United States to fex@ackersonlaw.com.
Since lunch will be served we need to get as exact a head count as possible, so please RSVP on the CFC bar association’s website at www.cfcbar.org.
For further information on the program contact Jim Gette, Chair of the Law & Practice Education Committee of the CFC Bar Association, at 202-305-1461 or at james.gette@usdoj.gov.
