McCarter & English Philadelphia partner Maria Panichelli is scheduled to speak at an upcoming webinar on Sept. 21 hosted by the Public Contracting Institute (PCI) titled "Federal Infrastructure Contracting Series: Effective Utilization of Debriefings and Bid Protests."

In this second of six installments of PCI's Federal Infrastructure Contracting Series, government contracts attorney Panichelli is to provide a primer on a hot topic affecting all contractors trying to maximize contract awards: bid protests.

Starting with the basics, Panichelli explains what bid protests are, and how contractors can use them to obtain contract awards that they believe were wrongly awarded to competitors. She also is to discuss in depth the who, what, when, where and why of bid protests, including protest deadlines and common protest arguments.
