About

Provided by Frankel PLLC

Frankel PLLC's Government Contracts group represents contractors everywhere disputes arise: the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the Government Accountability Office, the Boards of Contract Appeals, agencies, and federal and state courts. The group also has unique experience representing vendors and cooperating partners in investigations and disputes with United Nations agencies such as the World Food Programme and UNICEF.

The group has guided clients through numerous bid protests, either defending their contract awards or challenging their competitors’ awards. The group has helped clients avoid suspension, debarment, and potential terminations for default. It has also represented clients in disputes with their subcontractors, prime contractors, and teaming partners. The group's clients include some of the nation's largest defense contractors, large and mid-sized IT contractors, mental health and EAP providers, and international development nonprofits.

The group's lawyers are aggressive and creative litigators, skilled in crafting persuasive arguments, and confident when handling highly technical subjects. At the same time, they have the judgment to advise when approaches other than litigation make sense, as well as the experience to pursue these alternatives to a successful outcome. The group is led by lawyers with decades of experience who work on cases directly rather than handing them off to squadrons of junior lawyers.
