Our Public Contracts practice
focuses on providing cost effective solutions to disputes between government
contractors and public entities. We represent
contractors, suppliers and subcontractors on state, Federal and local
agency projects. We also represent local public agencies, such as school
districts and port districts, on public contracting matters. Our firm’s
expertise includes contract negotiation; bid protests; performance disputes,
including disqualification and disbarment; and litigation for and with
public agencies. We have successfully litigated and resolved claims at
the administrative, trial and appellate levels.
On behalf of our private clients,
our firm’s lawyers have negotiated
contracts and litigated and resolved bid protests and public contract
claims with, most recently, school districts, counties, cities, water
districts, port districts, the California Departments of Transportation,
Rehabilitation, Consumer Affairs, Social Services, Motor Vehicles, Education
and General Services, as well as the California Highway Patrol, the Public
Utilities Commission and the Prison Industry Authority. These matters
include bid protest hearings before the California State Board of Control
and the Department of General Services. We have also represented clients
before the United States Board of Contract Appeals and Court of Federal
Claims.
