Lawyers For Government Contractors.

A FIRM BUILT AROUND FEDERAL PROCUREMENT

Focused exclusively on federal procurement.

Large firms may offer strong government contracts practices within broader litigation departments. Jackson Holcomb is structured differently: federal procurement is not one practice among many; it is the firm’s entire focus. Every attorney has devoted his or her practice to this field, so each matter draws on a shared body of experience—whether it involves a bid protest or appeal, a claim, a termination, an investigation, or a trial. For clients facing business-critical procurement disputes, that structure provides lawyers whose professional focus is concentrated on the issues their matter presents.

We formed Jackson Holcomb LLP to give federal government contractors direct access to senior-attorney judgment when procurement problems become business-critical. Our clients deliver services, perform construction contracts, and provide supplies under demanding federal acquisition requirements. They need counsel who understands the work, the rules, and the stakes from the outset—and who can assess the problem promptly, protect their position, and help them make sound decisions when the margin for error is small.

We have helped clients pursue contract awards, defend awards against protests, and address contract-performance problems. We have guided clients through audits and investigations, suspension and debarment proceedings, and responses to government claims. We also have prepared and negotiated requests for equitable adjustment, prosecuted claims before the Boards of Contract Appeals and the Court of Federal Claims, litigated in federal district courts across the country, and tried cases in each of these forums. That experience shapes how we assess new matters and advise clients when procurement problems become serious.

Ready to see the matter through

Experienced lawyers. Direct access. Continuous responsibility.

We are a small firm by design. Every matter is staffed by attorneys with the experience and subject-matter fluency it requires. Clients speak directly with the attorneys advising them and litigating on their behalf, and the attorneys involved at the outset remain personally responsible for the matter from beginning to end.

We do not accept an engagement until we believe we can provide meaningful help. When we do, our objective is straightforward: understand the client’s problem, identify the obstacles, and pursue a practical path toward the client’s goal.

For many federal contractors, the government is their largest—or most important—customer. A bid protest, claim, or termination response may unfold within an ongoing relationship the client needs to preserve. We advise and litigate with that reality in view. Success in the immediate matter may not serve the client if it unnecessarily damages an important customer relationship. Our discipline is to address the problem in front of the client while protecting the business behind it.

DELIBERATE PRACTICE MODEL

Technology increases capacity. Attorneys retain judgment.

We believe complex, document-intensive procurement matters are best handled by a small number of experienced lawyers supported by enterprise technology. That is a deliberate choice, not a limitation.

Our lawyers remain directly responsible throughout the engagement, while technology increases our capacity, reduces repetitive work, and protects senior attention and preserves continuity.

We use artificial intelligence and other technology to organize records, analyze large document collections, build chronologies, and accelerate legal research and citation verification. These tools support legal judgment; they do not replace it. The Jackson Holcomb attorney responsible for the matter remains accountable for every analysis, decision, filing, and recommendation.

We use protected information only in authorized environments, including FedRAMP-authorized environments where required. Our written Artificial Intelligence Use Policy explains how we select, supervise, verify, and use these tools. It accompanies every engagement letter.

Technology changes where the client’s investment is spent. By reducing repetitive manual work, it allows more of the legal budget to be devoted to experienced judgment, strategy, and advocacy—the work clients hire senior lawyers to perform.

READY TO SEE THE MATTER THROUGH

The lawyers you hire remain responsible for your case through trial.

When a procurement dispute becomes business-critical, contractors need to know whether their lawyers will remain responsible for the matter if it proceeds through trial and appeal.

At Jackson Holcomb, our lawyers remain responsible for the matters they handle.

When a matter requires trial, we will try it rather than transfer responsibility to another firm.

Our lawyers have tried procurement disputes to judgment in the Court of Federal Claims, federal district courts, and administrative tribunals, and have argued appeals before the Federal Circuit. That work has included cases converting terminations for default, matters resulting in multimillion-dollar judgments, and cases resulting in Federal Circuit precedent. Examples appear in our attorney biographies, practice area pages, and market pages. Our experience includes representing contractors before the ASBCA, the Court of Federal Claims, the Federal Circuit, the GAO, the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals, federal district courts, and domestic and international arbitral tribunals.
