If contractors indicate they have no violations , but later find they do , now you've got a situation of lying to the government , and you have something real serious , said Washington lawyer Tom Williamson , a partner with Morgan , Lewis & Bockius LLP.The firm's lawyers advise clients who have a violation to be sure they have their story ready , and they present it in the best light and work with [ the contracting officer ] , so he will understand whether it does or doesn't have anything to do with [ performing ] that contract , Williamson said.If the rules stand , lawsuits may provide clarification , lawyers and IT industry executives said.The first large contractor that feels they have been harmed by this [ regulation ] will challenge this in court , DiPentima said.
