Klehr Harrison’s government contracting attorneys have experience in both the governmental and private sectors. Our attorneys understand the myriad of government regulations that must be interpreted and navigated so that your business may prosper in the government contract marketplace. 

Our attorneys provide prudent and straightforward advice to guide our clients through the complicated government contracting process and advise our clients on every phase of the government procurement process, including drafting teaming agreements, contract interpretation, solicitation assessment, evaluation criteria analysis, change orders, audits and contract close-out. 

Our attorneys are committed to providing proactive legal advice to minimize the risk of future claims and allegations. When divergent positions cannot be reconciled, we represent contractors before the traditional government resolution venues—the Boards of Contract Appeals, the Court of Federal Claims and the Government Accountability Office. Even under the most pressing circumstances, our counselors provide timely advice to guide our clients through criminal and civil enforcement actions that seek to, effectively, shut down their businesses.
