Government Contract Investigation Lawyers
Being investigated during performance of a government contract can be embarrassing, reduce productivity or even ruin your company’s reputation. As a party to a federal contract you have rights. Having an attorney that is experienced in federal contracting can save you time and still protect your rights.
Watson & Associates, LLC is a national leader in providing sound and specialized government contract law services to federal contractors that face tough contracting claims problems or intense investigations.
We Take Government Investigations Seriously. As a federal contractor, you may find that your internal policies and procedures do not align with the many obligations and clauses set forth in the government contract. Other times, there may be internal practices of which you may not be aware of.
Investigations can lead to suspension and debarment. When the government launches an investigation against your business, the liabilities can be enormous. Criminal implications can also attach. Since the risks are high, it may be worth the effort to have a procurement investigation attorney on your team. Watson can help you with:
- Procurement Fraud
- Ethics Matters
- Independent Special Counsel Investigations
- False Claims
- Collusion
Fight for Your Claims Often times, you will have a claim against the government for work completed and no payment. Our government contract claims attorneys will review you documentation, provide you with a legal analysis of our finds and provide assistance with properly filing your claim against the government.
Contractors have Rights during a Federal Contract Investigation Although the government still acts as a sovereign entity during contract performance, federal law and the Constitution allows individual rights. Having sound advice and representation from a federal government contract attorney can ease stress while still keeping your rights protected. We can also help with complex claims against the agency. We also offer:
- Proactive intervention
- Internal Policy Review
- Government Contract Training
