Bid protests are litigated at lightning speed. Our team’s breadth, experience, and precision approach uniquely positions us to help you succeed.

Seyfarth’s bid protest team is led by elite protest attorneys, including multiple current/former co-chairs of the American Bar Association Bid Protest Committee with protest sustain records among the highest in the nation over the past decade, and a former GAO protest adjudicator. Together they lead one of the deepest coast-to-coast bid protest teams, with extensive experience prosecuting bid protests and defending contract awards at the Government Accountability Office (GAO), US Court of Federal Claims, FAA Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA), and before various federal and state/local agencies and courts.

We understand that success in protests depends on rapidly and efficiently understanding the nuances of the procurement and our client’s service or product, so we can translate, broaden, and frame our client’s position into a successful bid protest or protest defense. Our team draws on its breadth of protest experience across many industries to identify the strongest arguments for each complex case. The team’s record of success reflects our detail-focused and tactical approach to bid protests.

Each year our team represents government contractors in bid protests worth billions of dollars combined, including some of the most complex and prominent protests in the nation. We have successfully handled protests in almost every industry, including defense/aerospace, information technology, facility operations and maintenance, high-tech (including cyber, AI, and advanced computing), construction, telecom, manufacturing, maritime, custodial, engineering, health care, and medical facility operations.
