Legal Training

EXIM employs a number of attorneys (approximately 50) licensed in various jurisdictions (states).  Each jurisdiction sets its own requirements regarding CLE for attorneys licensed within that jurisdiction.  EXIM attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and other officers/employees of EXIM may have the need to conduct legal research on topics for which CLE materials may be relevant.  To fill these requirements, EXIM seeks to award a firm-fixed price contract, for commercially available CLE legal training services.
