Vinson & Elkins LLP

The Vinson & Elkins LLP government contracts practice advises clients on sensitive matters across the full spectrum of federal procurement, excelling in high-stakes bid protests and False Claims Act investigations. In April 2025 the firm strengthened the practice with the arrival of Alexander Canizares from Perkins Coie LLP, as co-head of the group he advises clients on federal contracting issues, high-stakes litigation and internal investigations. Co-head Jamie Tabb remains a key figure in the Washington DC practice, with a strong focus on federal contracts and particular strength in bid protest litigation before the GAO and the Court of Federal Claims. Tyler Robinson adds notable depth on compliance matters involving the Federal Acquisition Regulation, agency supplemental acquisition regulations and Small Business Administration rules.
