Government Contracts

Thelen LLP attorneys have substantial expertise in the broad range of issues involved in contracting with federal, state, and local governments. We advise clients at all stages of the contracting process, from bidding and contract formation through claims and dispute resolution.

Thelen's clients include supply, service, and construction government contractors, including some of the world's largest aerospace, satellite, and missile companies; information technology and systems integrators; electronic suite and counter-measure manufacturers; equipment suppliers; electric utility companies; co-generation facilities; construction companies; petroleum refineries; and shipyards. In the federal arena, we represent clients with regard to contracting matters before a wide range of agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Energy, and Transportation; the General Services Administration (GSA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and many others.

Our attorneys have extensive government experience and include a former General Counsel to the National Security Agency (NSA) and a former Navy Contracting Officer. This expertise is supplemented by the talents of the Thelen's commercial litigators.

Sometimes a client's most effective avenue to success lies in accessing those within government who make key decisions. In these cases, we can draw upon the experience and connections of our Government Affairs group to pursue such access.
