DGW Lawyers - Government Contracts PracticeDunlap, Grubb & Weaver’s lawyers have the connections to state and Federal governments and the experience to help clients obtain, maintain and protect their business and intellectual property interests in the government contracts area. More than the one-dimensional representation offered by firms that deal solely in government contracts, we bring former military officers, MBAs and a wealth of business and IP experience that juxtaposes with our in-depth knowledge of the government contracts process. Licensed in the state and federal courts directly or through local counsel of virtually every state, and with offices in Washington, DC, Virginia and Florida, and affiliated offices in New York, California, Boston and the UK, we are a boutique law firm with the resources of a large national firm. Further, as one of the few national law firms to participate in competitive government contracts bidding as a law firm at both the state and Federal level we know what our clients do intimately. Bid protests (see this article on bid protests) and disputes with Department of Defense (DOD) groups like the Army, Navy or Air Force involve a number of different players and the landscape can be confusing. Actions can be filed with the contracting officer, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or in the Court of Federal Claims to name a few.

Department of Defense (Navy)) and have experience with large bid protests at the GAO (World Airways bid protest for $495 million) We represent a wide variety of companies selling to state, local and the Federal governments, including hardware and software companies, IT services companies, defense manufacturers, energy companies, training companies, aviation companies, construction contractors and subcontractors, foreign contractors, and consultants.
