Government Contracts Practice Group

Sheppard Mullin provides a full range of legal services to clients that do business with governmental entities.  We advise clients on complying with complex government regulations and defending them in the event of litigation.  We specialize in handling government contract disputes, bid protests, claims and defending individuals and corporations in a wide range of administrative, civil and criminal proceedings, including fraud investigations and whistle blower lawsuits.  Sheppard Mullin also has the ability to serve clients in such areas as legislative advocacy, public relations and other related fields.  Recently, Chambers & Partners' 2010 annual guide to America's leading business lawyers recognized the Government Contracts practice on a national level. The Government Contracts Practice Group also recently received the Silver Award 2010 for Best USA Law Firm in the category of Public Procurement, Public Law and Government Relations at the International Legal Awards.

Our attorneys have represented clients in proceedings before the federal courts, including the Court of Federal Claims; a broad array of administrative tribunals, including the GAO and ASBCA; federal agencies such as the DOD, EPA, DOE, GSA, DOT and CFIUS; state courts; and state, regional and local agencies such as California's Coastal, Energy and Public Utilities Commissions, to name only a few.  Sheppard Mullin serves a broad base of clients in the aerospace & defense, high technologies, electronics, healthcare, transportation, power and utilities industries.  Although we typically litigate before federal district courts, the Court of Federal Claims and Boards of Contract Appeals, we have also represented clients before the full spectrum of both federal and state agencies and departments.
