Government Contracts

Entering a government contract carries risks as well as rewards. For decades, Nixon Peabody’s Government Contracts team has worked closely with companies of all sizes to help them take advantage of the opportunities associated with federal, state, and local government contracts, while assuring that they also understand the risks, obligations, and larger business issues associated with them.

Our lawyers have handled multibillion-dollar transactions and litigation with the U.S. government, and have also helped small and mid-size companies enter the federal procurement marketplace. We have represented clients in negotiation, counseling, litigation, and other proceedings in:

  • Local courts
  • Agency boards of contract appeals
  • The U.S. Government Accounting Office
  • Various federal district courts
  • The U.S. Court of Federal Claims
  • The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

We also have substantial experience assisting companies that provide—or seek to provide—products and services to the U.S. Departments of Defense and Homeland Security. We have helped clients take advantage of opportunities afforded by the Homeland Security and SAFETY Acts, and aided them in developing policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the U.S. Patriot Act.

Our lawyers have also analyzed, developed, negotiated, and, when necessary, litigated claims against the government. We are also skilled at protecting our clients’ intellectual property and proprietary information.

The team’s services extend to related areas, such as corporate compliance, internal investigations, defense of whistle-blower claims, and suspension and debarment.
