Government Contracts

We help clients obtain, retain, and fulfill the requirements of government contracts.

Being a government supplier brings with it a host of government legal, regulatory and contractual requirements. We have experience in a wide array of matters through which government agencies monitor the accountability and transparency of work for the government, including:

• preparation and defense of affirmative action plans
• handle OFCCP audits
• defend audits, investigations and litigation regarding prevailing wage compliance under the Davis-Bacon Act, Service Contract Act, or other laws assist clients in requirements for contracts funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
• compliance with E-Verify use by federal contractors
• draft ethics and conflict of interests policies for compliance with government contracting requirements
• assist clients in qualifying as minority or women owned business
• defend companies that are the subject of government audits, compliance reviews, and investigations
• defend contractors facing debarment proceedings and preserving their eligibility to be awarded government contracts
• management training in adopting and implementing policies to achieve compliance with government contracting requirements
