As government contracts attorneys, bidders often need guidance in challenge awards that violate procurement law. We represent many entities who want to file a bid protest based on solicitation and award improprieties. We also assist clients in bid protest defense. Our lawyers represent clients concerning protests in all forums, including the U.S. Government Accountability Office (formerly the General Accounting Office), the United States Court of Federal Claims, and to agency itself.

During performance of a government contract, federal agencies such as Department of Justice, Inspector General and other agencies investigate businesses for alleged false claims, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, accounting and ethics violations.
