Government Contracts Attorneys in Offices in NC and SC
Government Contracts
Public owners procure by their own set of rules, and it is important to have an ally in the process. Our government contracts attorneys assist clients with bidding, Minority Business Enterprise issues, bid protests, change order negotiation, claims development and presentation, and litigation. Our lawyers have handled procurement disputes before the General Accounting Office, Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, Court of Federal Claims, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and State Courts throughout the southeast. We understand the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the Contract Disputes Act so that our clients’ claims can be effectively prosecuted.
Bidding & Procurement
Competitive bidding rules are rigidly applied and a contractor’s failure to properly fill out and submit its bid can result in rejection. We educate and counsel clients on how to satisfy city, county, state, and Federal bidding requirements to ensure bid acceptance.
Bid Protests
If a public owner fails to properly evaluate or award projects, WTB can seek relief through bid protests. Our lawyers have successfully represented clients in procurement disputes at every level of public ownership.
Change Order Development & Negotiation
Notice and documentation requirements for change orders on public projects can be rigidly enforced. We assist clients with understanding the proper methods to provide timely contractual notice and persuasively present change order claims.
