Government Contracting

Overview

Balancing opportunities and risks

The federal government is the largest contractor in the United States, offering billions of dollars in contracts for goods and services each year. However, landing a government contract is a complicated process that hinges on adhering to a number of rules and procedures. Adding to the difficulty is heavy regulation in the government contracts sector, involving extensive background checks and security clearance investigations. Clearing these hurdles and mounting a successful bid requires the guidance of experienced legal counsel.
