Expert Guidance on a Complex Bid Protest

Our aerospace firm engaged Dan Graham at McDermott Will & Schulte after a major defense contract award was challenged. Dan’s deep, 24-year focus in government contracts was immediately apparent. He didn't just handle the procedural litigation; he provided strategic counsel rooted in the nuances of the Federal Acquisition Regulation that we, as a business, simply don't possess daily. His recognition in this specific field is well-earned. Dan and his team constructed a compelling defense that addressed every technical argument, ultimately leading to a favorable settlement that preserved our award and our relationship with the agency. The expertise was top-tier. The only slight critique would be that during the most intense phases, communication from junior team members sometimes lagged, requiring a follow-up to get status updates. Overall, Dan Graham is a formidable advocate who understands both the courtroom and the contracting office.
