"Top 5 Gov't Contracting Policies Of 2021," Law360

In a recent article, Law360 highlights Partner David B. Robbins’ comments on the top government contracting policies of 2021. Mr. Robbins notes that actions by the Department of Justice’s Procurement Collusion Strike Force should be a warning sign for contractors amid the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. "We're about to see a ton of money … it may be a once-in-a-century infusion of funds into infrastructure. We're going to see a lot of new players who don't necessarily understand these risks, [who come from business environments] where interaction on pricing may be more common, especially in the state and local marketplaces, private marketplaces," he said in the article. "I think we're going to see an awful lot more for the strike force to do as a result of the infrastructure bill."

Mr. Robbins is co-chair of the firm’s Government Contracts and Grants Practice and a former Air Force General Counsel’s office senior lawyer where he ran the global Air Force’s Procurement Fraud Remedies Office and served as acting Suspending and Debarring Official and Deputy General Counsel (Contractor Responsibility). He is an experienced litigator, investigations lawyer, and strategic business counselor with a broad skillset focused on ethics, compliance, M&A/diligence, investigations, crisis management, and enforcement defense for government contractors, grant recipients, and regulated industries.
