Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, L.L.P. represents and counsels both domestic and foreign companies selling products and services to governments as prime contractors and subcontractors.

Members of the firm have experience counseling and representing companies at every stage of the procurement process, from the initial phases of proposal preparation through to post-completion claims litigation. That experience includes recently compelling the Army, through federal litigation, to compete a contract which the Army had repeatedly awarded on a sole-source basis to a client's competitor, and defeating a protest of the solicitation for that contract, all in connection with a $35 million procurement. Other experience includes successfully defending, before the General Accounting Office, the award of a $44 million FAA contract, helping to negotiate the assignment of a major U.S. air carrier's federal accounts receivable, and work for companies involved in the renovation of the Pentagon, the production of the NASA X-34 aerial vehicle, and the servicing of marine turbine engines used by the Coast Guard. Particular areas of expertise are services contracting, subcontracting, international contracting, GSA schedule contracting, procurement fraud, debarment, and the Freedom of Information Act.
