Insight And Advice From A Virginia Suspension And Debarment Lawyer
Debarment refers to government action that officially prohibits individuals or companies suspected of misconduct from doing business with the federal government. A suspension is a limited, temporary ban for the contractor; debarment is usually permanent unless your debarment attorney can successfully appeal the debarment.
The stated purpose of a suspension or debarment is to protect the public, not punish a specific contractor or contracting agency. However, if your livelihood rests on government contracts, then being banned from bidding on them, even temporarily, certainly feels punitive. We represent you in these cases, helping protect everything you’ve built and worked so hard for.
We can:
Defend you or your subcontractors in suspension or debarment actions
Provide insight on how to demonstrate your present responsibility, competence, integrity, and ethics
Respond on your behalf to federal agency document requests
Draft responses and mount a defense on your behalf addressing debarment for conflict of interest, criminal conviction, or civil judgment
We protect your interests and rights from start to finish. Our goal is to minimize the effects of suspension or debarment. The federal government takes a strong stance in cases of debarment or suspension, and there are formal requirements for answering these notices. We understand the proper way to address any notice or letter you receive and strive to mitigate the proposed consequences.
