Suspension & Debarment – and “Monitor” Services

We have successfully represented dozens of high-profile corporations, smaller companies, and individuals in suspension and debarment proceedings – and in government investigations and civil/criminal proceedings that led to Suspension and Debarment proceedings. Frequently, we have been able to resolve these cases quietly and without major disruptions to the client’s business. Mr. King (a former Suspension and Debarment Official for the Department of the Navy) also is available to serve as a “monitor” under agreements between agency debarring officials and companies that have not been ArentFox Schiff clients.
