We represent government contracting clients in all

aspects of their business transactions with U.S. federal,

state and local governments, as well as international

governments including investigations and litigation

under the False Claims Act (FCA). Our lawyers have

advised government contractors, equity investors and

institutional buyers in mergers, acquisitions and

investments in government contractors at every stage of

of government contracts.

Members of our team leverage decades of prior experience

and relationships from former positions in government

agencies, including the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as from

such industries as automotive and technology, financial

services, aerospace, defense and healthcare.

We offer clients deep experience in technology-related

domestic and international mergers, acquisitions, joint

venture agreements and other technology transactions;

foreign military sales and foreign military financing; and

We regularly assist clients with drafting and negotiating

licenses and data rights agreements with agencies and prime

contractors. Clients call on us to structure and scope

strategic licenses that comply with legal requirements;

define, parse and limit government rights in pre-existing

technology; and draft and negotiate terms of the license

agreement.
