GOVOLOGY: Gen-AI in Government Procurement

Generative AI can be incredibly useful—until it isn’t. Join David Timm (Co-Chair of Burr & Forman’s AI Committee and Chair of the Federal Bar Association’s Bid Protest Committee) for a candid reality check on how large language models (LLMs) behave in legal and government contracting contexts—and how to use them without getting burned.

Date: February 12, 2026

Time: 12:00 p.m. CST

Duration: Approx. 90 minutes

Instructor: David Timm (Burr & Forman, LLP)

Learning Credits: 1.5 CPEs, 1.5 ATCs

*To register, please see the Govology Event Registration Instructions below.

Your registration includes access to the on-demand recording.

You’ll learn:

• The three core LLM risks: hallucinations, sycophancy, and privacy/privilege exposure

• What current performance data shows about leading chatbots’ failure rates, and how often they repeat false information.

• GovCon examples where over-reliance on AI has led to legal sanctions, dismissed protests, and loss of professional credibility

• Clear dos and don’ts for using AI for brainstorming and issue-spotting without compromising confidential data or falling for plausible-looking hallucinations

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how LLMs work, where they tend to fail, and how to use them responsibly in GovCon and legal workflows. Walk away with practical guardrails you can apply immediately to protect sensitive information and avoid costly missteps.

Target Audience: Small business owners, C-Suite executives, proposal writers, and in-house counsel
