What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support federal contractors with practical, compliance-first legal strategy—especially across FAR/DFARS contracting, investigations/audits, and high-stakes bid protests and claims—where I can deliver outcomes aligned to business objectives.

I currently serve as a Shareholder providing day-to-day legal counsel to federal contractors across the full acquisition lifecycle—proposal questions, contract administration, compliance, risk management, and strategic alignment of legal solutions to business objectives.

I draft and advise subcontracts, teaming agreements, and joint ventures (populated and unpopulated) to ensure compliance with FAR and DFARS, along with agency-specific requirements. I also advise on federal contracting statutes and regulations spanning intellectual property and data rights, supply chain security, NIST compliance, Service Contract Act, ethics, and cost/pricing data requirements.

My background includes managing government investigations and audits (OIG, DCMA, SBA, DOL, Departments of Commerce and State, DCAA) and successfully resolving hundreds of disputes—bid protests, claims, terminations, Administrative Procedure Act petitions, size/status appeals, and prime-subcontractor disputes—before venues including the Court of Federal Claims, Federal Circuit, GAO, SBA OHA, Boards of Contract Appeals, and federal district courts.
