About

Provided by Wiley

Leveraging decades of industry experience, Wiley’s consummate team of attorneys and consultants provides practical, tactical, and effective representation that is essential to obtaining successful outcomes for the firm’s government contracts clients.


In 2022 the Government Contracts team, co-chaired by Paul Khoury and Scott McCaleb, successfully represented clients in “bet the company” cases across virtually every area of government contracting. Khoury and McCaleb attribute the practice’s success to a multidisciplinary approach that emphasizes a diverse range of expertise.


The team’s depth of experience and multidisciplinary capabilities are among the advantages that set Wiley apart from other firms. Recent victories include Wiley’s successful defense of Aptive Resources LLC’s slot against four protests before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims challenging the award of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ $22.3 billion Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology Next Generation (T4NG) contract; a win on behalf of Leidos in a bid protest over a $1.8 billion NASA information technology services contract; and a win for Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, LLC in a bid protest over the award of a $106.6 million U.S. Navy contract.
