Securities, M&A & Corporate Governance Litigation
In today’s market, litigators with experience in securities, corporate governance, and M&A-related (collectively, “securities litigation”) matters need to leverage their broad experience to serve as both advocate and as counsel and strategist, focused on helping clients to overcome not just a legal issue but a collective business problem. Given the frequent interplay between things such as corporate-control transactions, public offerings, activist shareholders, the use of complex derivatives and other financial instruments, bad news impacting stock performance, regulatory inquiries and investigations, and insurance coverage, strategic and tactical litigation decisions can have a wide-ranging impact on the success of a given transaction, as well as on companies, their boards, senior management, and advisors.

What Is Uniform Grant Guidance?
In 2014, the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards to Non-Federal Entities, commonly known as the Uniform Grant Guidance. The Uniform Grant Guidance is a government-wide, authoritative set of rules and requirements for federal awards intended to guard against the risk of waste, fraud, and abuse while reducing the administrative burden for non-federal entities receiving federal awards.

A bid protest is a challenge to the government’s proposed contract award for the procurement of goods and services, or a challenge to the terms of a solicitation for such a contract. A bid protest at the federal level is typically heard at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) but can also be directed to the procuring federal agency, and in certain instances, to the Court of Federal Claims (COFC). Since there are strict timelines for filing a bid protest, it is imperative to consult with counsel. See 4 C.F.R. § 21.2; see also Bid Protests At GAO: A Descriptive Guide (Ninth Edition, 2009). A bid protest is further described at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 33.103; 33.104; and 33.105.
