Government Contracts and Public Procurement

McDermott Will & Emery’s Government Contracts and Public Procurement Practice Group has broad experience in all aspects of United States and the European public contracts.  The group has a sophisticated practice with respect to United States federal, state and local government procurement and the European public procurement regime (both utilities and public sector).  The Government Contracts and Public Procurement Practice Group includes partners who served as counsel to Congressional committees responsible for the creation of many of the U.S. procurement laws and regulations or held senior positions in the Executive Branch.

In the United States, our lawyers regularly represent clients before U.S. courts, agency boards of contract appeals, the General Accountability Administration, and the Court of Federal Claims.  In Europe, our lawyers are experts on the case law of the European Courts on the European public procurement rules.  They also advise on these rules as implemented at national level.  For example, our lawyers were retained by the European Commission to review UK and Spanish legislation implementing the European Union rules, and to advise on the public procurement rules applicable to government and utilities services contracts.  The U.S. group is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and the European Group in Brussels.  McDermott also has lawyers with significant public procurement experience in its Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Munich and Brussels offices.  Government contracts are a market with great potential and even greater legal and business challenges.
