Bringing more than 25 years of experience to this area of practice, the Government Contracts team at Brown Rudnick helps clients resolve a wide range of complex business disputes. From prosecuting and defending bid protests before the Government Accountability Office (GAO), to asserting and defending claims before courts and boards of contract appeals, to investigating and defending civil and criminal fraud accusations, this team delivers proven abilities and a grounded perspective.

We represent clients in matters related to government contracts across a diverse industry span: defense, energy, environment, technology, healthcare, real estate and construction. Applying the strong client-oriented litigation philosophy that distinguishes us, we staff to deliver cost-effective representations and routinely call upon the strong pool of talent within the firm, as well as the most sophisticated technologies available to assist in accomplishing our clients’ objectives.

Our litigation practice overall is not limited to in-court litigation. Brown Rudnick frequently negotiates positive outcomes for clients without the expense, delay, and uncertainty of formal litigation. In the service of our clients’ interests, we have implemented a variety of effective alternative dispute resolution techniques, and we represent our clients’ interests, not only in court, but, as appropriate, in arbitration and mediation proceedings.

This team’s clients range from the largest companies in their industries to emerging and mid-size entities. We regularly appear on these clients’ behalf before numbers of governmental bodies, including the Government Accountability Office, the Small Business Administration, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, the US Court of Federal Claims and US District Courts, state courts and appellate courts throughout the country.
