Government Contracts and Investigations

While selling goods and services to the federal government can be lucrative, business in this area is highly regulated and subject to a combination of commercial and federal rules and regulations that vary significantly based on the goods or services sold and the customer agency. Tayman Lane Chaverri LLP’s Government Contracts and Investigations Practice is led by attorneys who combine the expertise gained as former state and federal prosecutors with decades of experience representing companies and individuals in various actions.

The attorneys of Tayman Lane Chaverri LLP understand the stakes are high and delivering results is imperative when government investigators turn their focus to matters impacting you and your business. Having wise legal counsel, experienced in the way government agencies and prosecutors conduct investigations and build cases, is crucial to effectively navigating these potentially existential risks to your business and reputation. Our attorneys have represented companies and individuals through complex long-term and multi-jurisdictional; government investigations and actions ranging from internal agency and DCAA audits to inspector general actions to investigations and enforcement actions under the False Claims Act (FCA) and other laws and regulations with civil and criminal penalties.

The attorneys of Tayman Lane Chaverri LLP have substantial experience helping government contractors navigate these sometimes-turbulent waters.

  • Responding to Defense Contract Audit Administration (DCAA), Department of Justice (DoJ), agency inspector general (IG), and other government investigations.
  • In “qui tam” or whistleblower actions and in direct actions brought by the government under the FCA.
  • Responding to cure notices issued by the contracting agency.
  • In litigation concerning teaming agreements and joint ventures.

In addition, we provide representation to companies, boards, and individuals in need of counsel regarding a variety of government matters. The attorneys of Tayman Lane Chaverri LLP approach these matters with an eye towards discretion, initially seeking to limit, narrow, or avoid enforcement actions or indictments altogether whenever possible.
