Edward ArnoldSeyfarth Shaw LLP

Well-versed particularly in the contentious elements of government contracts, spanning complex and high-profile bid protests, claims, FCA disputes, as well as international transactions and federal contracting labor and employment compliance counseling, Seyfarth Shaw LLP is a prime choice for federal, state, and local contractors across aerospace, defense, and tech. The team has also prominently achieved success against the US in a $367m claim before the Court of Federal Claims in Anchorage v. United States. Leadership is shared between Adam Lasky in Seattle, who specializes in bid protests involving complex overseas procurement issues, and SBA regulatory compliance and transactions, and Amy Conant-Hoang in Washington DC, who has proved her mettle in recent high-value protests on behalf of Textron Systems, QinetiQ, T-Mobile, and Valor Healthcare. Rounding out the rest of the DC team are Edward Arnold, who has distinguished himself in claims and litigation, prime/sub disputes, internal investigations, and FCA matters, and Erica Bakies, who advises on regulatory compliance and national security-related issues. Former co-chair Donald Featherstun  retired in December 2023.
