Wiley Rein's Government Contracts Practice offers valued clients and friends of the firm the opportunity to participate in a complimentary series of Wiley Rein Government Contracts "Boot Camps," one-hour webinars devoted to topics of interest to the government contracting community. 

"Boot Camps" are interactive with copies of the speaker's written materials available during the program via webcast and subsequently distributed to attendees for future reference.  Wiley Rein holds these sessions over the lunch hour to avoid disruptions with participants' work day and will also apply for Continuing Legal Education credit in Virginia, which many other jurisdictions recognize.
