The bicoastal offering from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP combines capacity in bid protests, suspensions and debarment proceedings, M&A, federal grants, and export controls to assist clients in the tech, aerospace, defense, and education sectors. David Dixon, who focuses on federal and state level contract formation and administration, leads the Northern Virginia office, while Alex Tomaszczuk, who is best employed in claims and bid protests, and FCA investigations, heads the team in Los Angeles. Dixon is joined by John Jensen, who specializes in mid-market M&A of government contractors, and Counsel Meghan Doherty, whose practice centers on M&A and cybersecurity. Extending the group’s reach to Washington DC is Marques Peterson, whose expertise spans defense contracting and the related international trade and anticorruption laws. In LA, Michael Rizzo enjoys strong relationships in the defense, transportation, and tech spaces, Richard Oliver excels in bid protests and small business challenges, and Matt Carter shines in investigations, suspension and debarment proceedings, and regulatory counseling. Counsel Aaron Ralph supports on IP matters, cost and pricing issues, as well as litigation and investigations. Benjamin Cote and Matthew Rabinowitz were promoted to partner in January 2023. Todd Canni left the firm and Kevin Slattum retired, both in April 2023.
