We advise on compliance and ethics issues, investigations, internal controls, contract disputes, terminations, and legislative and regulatory requirements and processes. We represent clients in bid protests, claims, qui tam and False Claims Act cases, and other complex litigation and discovery proceedings before federal district and appellate courts, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the Boards of Contract Appeals, the Government Accountability Office and various federal administrative tribunals. We also counsel on how to develop relationships with legislators and policymakers. We work in partnership with you, immersing ourselves in your business and working with you to provide interdisciplinary and holistic solutions to legal and business problems.
