I advise companies on how to obtain and perform government contracts and grants, as well as transactional issues associated with government contractors.I have been a government contracts lawyer for more than 30 years. My experience encompasses contract and grant compliance, bid protests, size and status protests, mergers and acquisitions, claims and disputes, and advising clients with regard to the statutory, regulatory, and practical challenges that clients face in obtaining and performing work for governments. In counseling government contractors, I advise on topics such as commercial item procurements, compliance programs, conflicts of interest, cost and pricing issues, contract financing, the Defense Production Act, disclosures, fraud investigations, real estate leases, and subcontracting and teaming arrangements, among others. I focus on practical compliance advice that enables clients to manage risk while efficiently pursuing their business goals.I advise companies regarding the treatment of intellectual property under procurement contracts, Other Transaction Agreements, and grants. Compliance with applicable rules can be challenging, and companies are well served to understand the nuances and potential approaches to safeguard their investments.I also counsel small businesses regarding affiliation, size, and status issues.
