Federal Programs for Small Business & Other Business Legal Services

Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver specializes in advising clients about the various Federal government assistance opportunities available to small and small disadvantaged businesses, including:

  • Total and partial small business set-asides and the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program (the “8(a) Program”)
  • The Small Disadvantaged Business Program (the “SDB Program”)
  • The Historically Underutilized Business Zone Program (the “HUBZone Program”)
  • The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern Program (the “SDVO SBC Program”).
  • Women-owned small businesses (“WOSB”) about the requirements for self-certifying
  • All businesses about the SBA’s size standards.
  • Joint venture opportunities and teaming agreements.

Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver remains up-to-date on changes made to the SBA’s size regulations including the:

  • Newly organized concern rule, and
  • Qualified joint venture (“JV”) rules to allow partners to enter into a single JV Agreement for multiple opportunities.
  • Nonmanufacturer rule which no longer requires that nonmanufacturers sell their products to the general public.
  • 8(a) mentor-protégé regulations which no longer require both the mentor and protégé be small in order for the JV to be considered small, now only the protégé need be small.

Importantly, Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver’s experience goes well beyond the government contracts realm. We routinely handle matters that affect the business of being in business:

  • Trademark search, filing, prosecution and disputes (cease & desist letters, litigation in State and Federal Courts and before the TTAB)
  • Copyright filing, and disputes
  • Contract negotiations (sub to prime, vendors, employment contracts and disputes)
  • Private equity, raising capital and corporate mergers and acquisitions
  • Foreign sales and a huge variety of import and export licensing issues with the US State Department
