Jason Carey represents government contractors in litigation, counsels them regarding a wide range of formation and compliance matters, and defends them in investigations by federal and state governments.

Recognized by Chambers as one of the nation’s top bid protest lawyers, Jay represents clients before the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the Court of Federal Claims, and state tribunals across the country. He litigates protests involving complex procurements often worth billions of dollars, across a wide range of industries — aerospace and defense; biotechnology; health care; cybersecurity; information technology; telecommunications; and others. A list of his recent wins is in the “Representative Matters” section below.

Jay also counsels clients on government contracts law and regulation, with an emphasis on matters related to the formation of government contracts. For example, he counsels clients extensively on organizational conflicts of interest, and on strategies for protecting intellectual property rights when entering into procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, and “Other Transaction Authority” agreements with the government.

Jay defends government contractors under investigation by the federal and state governments. In one engagement, he represented a space technologies company in joint criminal and civil fraud investigations alleging overcharges in violation of FAR and the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Although commenced with a search warrant, the criminal case was declined and the civil False Claims Act case was dismissed by the court.
