Wide-Ranging Legal Support from Award to Enforcement
Sheppard’s Government Contracts lawyers promote and protect contractors’ interests while advancing business goals in a competitive and heavily regulated arena.
Nationally ranked among the Elite firms in Chambers USA 2025 for Government Contracts, we are trusted by both the world’s largest defense contractors and innovative commercial companies entering the federal market for the first time. From obtaining a GSA Schedule contract to protesting billion-dollar defense awards, our team tailors its approach to meet the unique needs of each client, whether serving as trusted advisors to startups or providing focused guidance on high-stakes issues for global defense contractors.
We guide clients through the full lifecycle of public sector contracting—compliance, bid protests, claims, investigations and audits/investigations—delivering practical, business-minded solutions at every stage. Though we prioritize efficient resolutions, we are equally prepared to litigate and prevail in trial and appellate forums when necessary.
