Competing for government business can be complicated, demanding and at times intimidating. The attorneys at Fausti & Associates have the experience to successfully guide its clients through the many and varied legal and regulatory requirements of doing business with the government. We are uniquely equipped to advise clients on all aspects of the contracting process, from contract formation through contract close-out. Our attorneys negotiate with contracting agencies regarding the provisions of both advertised (IFB) and negotiated (RFP) contracts, contract changes, extensions and terminations as well as small business size protests at the Small Business Administration. We represent clients in fraud and abuse investigations, audits of multiple award schedule contracts, debarment and suspension proceedings and litigation involving False Claims Act violations.

The firm appears before the Government Accountability Office (GAO), both the civilian and military Boards of Contract Appeals, and in the Court of Federal Claims to advocate on behalf of its clients. In these instances, our attorneys have pursued, for example, claims against the Government involving failure to properly process change order requests, as well as improper terminations for default. Additionally, the firm is regularly involved in bid protests involving amongst other things, improper evaluations conducted by the agency, failure to conduct meaningful discussions, and unreasonable solicitation terms and conditions.

The attorneys of Fausti & Associates continually monitor proposed legislative and regulatory initiatives and advise clients on the impact these would have on their respective businesses. In additionally, we regularly advocate on behalf of our clients to obtain Congressional review where the Government's regulatory actions, or proposed actions, will unreasonably have a detrimental effect on the ongoing business activities of our clients.

The firm prepared and had published an article in the National Contract Management Association magazine that guides contractors through the bid protest process at both the GAO and the Court of Federal Claims.
