Covington advises clients about their strategic response to FAR and non-FAR based contracting opportunities, often beginning before the release of a formal agency solicitation. We represent clients in protest litigation and ADR challenging contract award decisions, at the Government Accountability Office ("GAO"), the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and in agency-level protest proceedings, as well as in contract claims litigation and ADR under the Contract Disputes Act and other disputes resolution systems. We also provide advice to local government clients about conducting procurements and minimizing the risk of protest litigation.
