Small Business Federal Government Contractors

Small business federal contractors, including those owned by veterans, women, and minorities, support a resilient national security infrastructure and defense industrial base. Greenberg Traurig Government Contracts Practice lawyers support small business federal contractors with decades of experience advising these entrepreneurs at various stages of growth, from the startup stage to owner exits.

Our attorneys routinely help clients with Small Business Administration certifications and associated compliance obligations, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), HUBZone program, and 8(a) Business Development program certifications.

In addition, we have an active litigation practice before the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals that includes size protests, status protests, appeals from proposed debarments, and terminations. Moreover, we routinely assist clients and their teaming partners with joint venture agreements, including relating to the SBA Mentor/Protégé Program.

Our counsel to small business federal contractors leverages the global resources, deep experience, and broad network of an international law firm in a cost-efficient model that fits various stages of business growth.

In addition to federal small business work, Greenberg Traurig also assists clients with state and local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) issues, along with women and minority-owned certifications including the National Minority Supplier Development Council.

Additionally, we advise clients in the following areas:
