December 27, 1999
Holland & Knight attorneys Richard E. Lear, Ross W.
Dembling and David S. Black co-authored the feature article in the September
1998 Government Contracting Costs, Pricing & Accounting Report. The
article, "When a Contractor Files for Bankruptcy: A Chapter Unread In
The Law Of Government Contracts," provides an overview of the statutory
framework of the Bankruptcy Code, examines the interplay between the Bankruptcy
Code and the transfer of existing government contracts under the anti-assignment
statutes and explores the effect of the Bankruptcy Code on determinations of
contractor responsibility and on the assertions of claims under the Contract
Disputes Act.
