About

Provided by WilmerHale

Our team of highly skilled lawyers is led by a former General Counsel of the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency and a former manager of the in-house litigation/bid protest group for a multinational government contractor. Drawing on our many years of experience in government, in-house and private practice, we combine technical know-how with creative lawyering to help clients navigate the complex world of federal procurement and other government transactions. We counsel a diverse range of clients on issues arising in the pursuit or performance of government contracts, including contract negotiations, intellectual property rights, commercial item status, flow down clauses and GSA Schedule compliance. We offer pre-eminent experience on key national security areas affecting government contractors, such as cybersecurity; foreign ownership, control and influence; and export and defense trade controls.
