Let Tom Help
Contracting
Given its size and the use of public funds, government contracting is extremely bureaucratic and highly regulated. This makes it risky for the unprepared. It can also be very profitable and stabilizing for those who know how to manage the risk. We lead you through the labyrinth to successful outcomes.
Training
The dynamic world of government contracting requires constant training and recertification. Keep your contracting professionals current on the laws, regulations, and procedures with tailored classes to address your most common issues and audit hot-spots. Our instructors receive consistent excellent ratings with demonstrated participant retention. Bring the best to your organization.
Speaking
Apart from formal training, there are occasions when the team needs a particular message. The right message delivered in the right way and in the right context can be powerfully motivating and informative. Communication is a key leadership quality. We help you deliver the message that your diverse team needs to hear.
Litigation
CCS understands those aspects of contracting that can lead to litigation and the very specific types of litigation available for disputes with the government. CCS can assist you in understanding and selecting a strategy and tactics to address them. CCS also serves as a Daubert-qualified expert witness on government contracting matters.
