Our attorneys provide guidance and assistance to clients in not only avoiding investigations, audits, conflicts of interest, and legal or contractual violations, but also in handling client responses to these situations. We help our clients deal with agency inspector general (IG) investigations and respond to IG subpoenas; with audits conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency and other federal agencies; and with responding to and resolving allegations of fraud and violations of the False Claims Act, False Statements Act and other criminal statutes.
We advise clients regarding the existence and avoidance of organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) that may affect contracting opportunities, and we assist them with the preparation of mitigation plans to overcome any OCIs. Our attorneys also prepare contractor codes of business ethics and conduct, now a FAR requirement, and counsel clients through the difficult and sensitive suspension and debarment processes.

NOTICE.
Although we would like to hear from you, we cannot represent you until we know that
doing so will not create a conflict of interest. Also, we cannot treat unsolicited
information as confidential. Accordingly, please do not send us any information
about any matter that may involve you until you receive a written statement from
us that we represent you (an ‘engagement letter’).
By clicking the ‘ACCEPT’ button, you agree that we may review any information you transmit to us. You recognize that our review of your information, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and, further, even if you consider it confidential, does not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you. Please click the ‘ACCEPT’ button if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish to proceed.
