Government Contracting

To function effectively in today’s environment, government contractors need counsel who are experienced not only in government and commercial contract law, but also in the related areas of white collar defense, environmental law, corporate transactions, labor law, and international trade.

Our practice covers all aspects of government contracting, including supply, service, and construction contracts and subcontracts in such industries as telecommunications, electronics, aerospace and missiles, shipbuilding, automated data processing (ADP), construction, surety, professional, architect-engineer, and technical services, heavy equipment, environmental and energy matters, and high-technology and research and development contracting. We also have significant knowledge in the Multiple Award Schedule Contract (MASC) program administered by the General Services Administration and the Veterans Administration.
