Crowell & Moring LLP

The ‘highly knowledgeable and nimble team’ of government contracts practitioners at Crowell & Moring LLP provides expert support across bid protests, contract violation claims, cost accounting, cybersecurity matters, false claims act investigations, grants and M&A transactions. The group receives mandates from clients across a range of sectors, including aerospace and defense, IT and telecommunications, healthcare and private equity. The practice is based in the firm’s Washington DC office and is led by Peter Eyre, who is well versed in suspension and debarment matters, internal investigations and M&A transactions, Daniel Forman, a preeminent bid protests litigator and Adelicia Cliffe, who practices at the intersection of international trade and government contracting, handling supply chain issues, national security and export control regimes. Amy O’Sullivan frequently leads on complex bid protests, Nicole Owren-Wiest is a go-to name for cost accounting matters and cost disputes, and Michelle Coleman, who was made partner in January 2024, is also active in contract disputes. Among the teams recent departures were David Hammond in December 2023 and Jim Regan in July 2024, who both retired.
