Government Contracts
We help clients obtain, retain, and fulfill the requirements of government contracts.
With government occupying a larger share of the country’s economy, government contracting has assumed a more important role for the business community. The Cavanagh Law Firm, P.A., is experienced in helping clients compete for, obtain, and comply with 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:
- Preparing and defending affirmative action plans

- Assisting in compliance with E-Verify use by federal contractors
- Drafting ethics and conflict of interests policies for compliance with government contracting requirements
- Assisting clients in qualifying as minority or women-owned business
- Defending companies that are the subject of government audits, compliance reviews, and investigations
