Aaron Silberman to Speak on Panel at 2025 NASPO Law Institute

Rogers Joseph O’Donnell shareholder Aaron P. Silberman will speak on a panel on Nov. 5 at the 2025 NASPO Law Institute in Savannah, Georgia.  

Silberman’s panel, “Federal and State Law: A Discussion with the Experts,” will discuss how state governments are experiencing legal conflicts with U.S. federal government laws, regulations and policies in contracts and grants, as well as strategies for recognizing, navigating and addressing those conflicts. He joins a panel of legal practitioners, former government and academic experts in federal and state procurements, contracts and grants. Silberman will identify key areas where these conflicts arise and focus on the conflicts surrounding federal and state Department of Transportation (DOT) Disadvantaged Business Entity (DBE) program requirements, among others.
