Experienced Government Procurement Lawyers Aggressively Representing Federal Contractors Nationwide

federal government procurement lawyers

Government contractors, including small businesses, face adversity and compliance disputes while performing contracts for the United States. When the DOJ comes knocking or the Contracting officer makes a wrong decision, our government procurement attorneys take charge.

Federal procurement law creates contracting opportunities for small businesses and large DOD contractors.  As contracts and employees increase, so does civil liability for fines, exposure to government investigations and criminal convictions. Government contracting and procurement include complex rules and regulations. There is a plethora of administrative courts that handle public procurement disputes in the federal space. Sometimes to resolve a particular dispute, a procurement lawyer must also be experienced in other areas.

At Watson & Associates, LLC, with law offices in Washington DC and Colorado, our federal government procurement attorneys assist clients and represent small businesses and larger DOD contractors both within the United States and overseas by helping them to minimize exposure to the federal government while still developing a plan of action to increase their bottom line. We frequently practice before the various boards of contract appeals, the US Small Business Administration (SBA), the US Court of Federal Claims, and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Experienced Contractor Lawyers Offering High-level Government Procurement Lawyer Services – The Law Firm Represents and Defends Federal Defense Contractors Nationwide

As federal procurement law attorneys, we utilize our years of government contracting experience to help clients navigate the legal procurement process – from beginning to end. 

Government Contract Small Business Matters

Many small businesses have or will experience pushback from the government agency or the SBA regarding small business compliance regulations. In other situations, small firms may find themselves under investigation for alleged violations of small business procurement laws and regulations, government procurement fraud, or some other civil or criminal issue. Watson’s government contract lawyers frequently help clients overcome the stressful issues that may arise with small business size standards, FAR 19 compliance, teaming, and joint venture affiliation disputes.

Contract Terminations for Default and Convenience: Watson & Associates’ government procurement attorneys represent contractors facing termination for default or have been notified of a termination for convenience action. We help clients to prepare responses to show cause notices and appeal default terminations to the respective courts in an effort to have the agency’s decision reversed.

Suspension and Debarment. When contractors face a recommendation for suspension or debarment, our government contract litigation lawyers and federal procurement law team can help. We have vast experience representing companies or employees facing a notice of debarment or suspension. We help you respond to the SDO on debarment issues, help with discovery or appear to headings on your behalf. Other relevant practice areas include:

Government Procurement Fraud Lawyers and False Claims Act Defense Attorneys

One aspect of our federal procurement law practice includes representing individuals and corporations that are subjected to Qui Tam and False Claims Act procurement fraud cases.
