Leading aerospace and defense, universities and academic research institutions and life sciences clients frequently turn to Hogan Lovells US LLP for their ‘unmatched’ breadth of experience across all facets of government contracting. Routine engagements include representation in high value bid protests before the GAO and US court of federal claims, contract disputes, including FCA litigation, suspension and debarment issues and cybersecurity matters as well as M&A transactions that involve government contractors. The Washington DC based practice is led by a trio of practitioners, namely William Ferreira, who is well versed in internal investigations related to contract audits, cost accounting standards, federal grant compliance and FCA enforcement, Michael Mason, who handles contentious matters for clients in the aerospace and defense industries and Stacy Hadeka, who excels in high stakes bid protests, FCA and cybersecurity investigations, disclosure obligations and M&A support. Michael Scheimer has extensive experience in defense contracting and M&A transactions involving contractors, as well as advising clients on cybersecurity and supply chain compliance, while Joy Sturm advises on federal contracts in the life sciences sector. Christine Reynolds has distinguished herself in bid protests at the federal, state and local levels and Taylor Hillman has recently supported the team on high value bid protests and M&A transactions.
