What Does a Procurement Lawyer Do?

 

In business law, procurement means the purchasing of goods or services in the public or private sector. In most cases, the parties involved are large organizations. There are laws in place to govern the competitive procurement process—the process in which bidders and buyers ensure the best price. Procurement lawyers are there to help their clients protect their interests in these transactions as well as to advise them regarding these often complex rules and regulations. This includes both the laws that are in place and past precedent; i.e. how the courts have interpreted those laws.

 

Examples of procurement issues a qualified procurement attorney can assist with include:

 

• Defense in cases of potential suspension or debarment

• Counsel and formulation related to bid and contract award protests

• Responding to proposal/qualifications requests

• All cases related to state, federal, or local government procurement laws
