Experience

   Cordatis LLP

   Nov 2019 — Present · Arlington, VA, US

   As the head of Cordatis’s litigation practice, I rely on my extensive federal government experience to represent government contractors, grant recipients, businesses, and individuals in federal and state courts and administrative tribunals throughout the country. These cases often involve breach of contract claims, bid protests, terminations, the Administrative Procedure Act, intellectual property disputes, and employment matters.In addition to my litigation practice, I maintain an active ethics and compliance practice. This practice includes helping clients develop and strengthen their ethics and compliance programs and conducting internal investigations. I also defend clients in False Claims Act cases, export control matters, suspension and debarment hearings, audits, and other enforcement proceedings. For example, I have successfully defended clients against investigations by the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, several Offices of Inspector General, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).I also spend a significant amount of my time counseling clients on avoiding litigation, audits, and government investigations. To achieve these objectives, I advise clients on the universe of statues and regulations that apply when doing business with the United States government.
