Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, L.L.P. represents and counsels 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 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: NASA support services, detection of medical conditions of astronauts while in orbit, the renovation of the Pentagon, furnishing marine biology services to NOAA, and the sale to and servicing of marine turbine engines used by the Coast Guard and the Navy.

Particular areas of expertise are services contracting, subcontracting, small business issues, international contracting, GSA schedule contracting, procurement fraud, debarment, and the Freedom of Information Act. The firm also has an active practice representing a number of government contractors with respect to exports, embargoes and sanctions.

John A. Ordway. Mr. Ordway has over two decades of experience in the field of government procurement law. Mr. Ordway has experience prosecuting and defending bid protests before the General Accounting Office and in federal district court, and has represented clients selling to a broad spectrum of U.S. government customers ranging from the Department of Defense and its various subcomponents to NOAA.

Benjamin H. Flowe. Mr. Flowe represents a number of government contractors here and abroad in connection with export controls, embargoes and sanctions, foreign military sales, antiboycott laws, and customs. He is the author of the comprehensive Export Compliance Guide (1995) and is a member of the Commerce Department's Regulations and Procedures Technical Advisory Committee.

James Marketos. Mr. Marketos has litigated a number of government procurement disputes, including ADP bid protests before the General Services Board of Contract Appeals, and contract claims before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals.

Thomas Wilson. Mr. Wilson has handled a variety of procurement-related matters. Most of Mr. Wilson's work in this area has involved internal investigations that have often led to the clients' participation in various voluntary disclosure programs. Such cases invariably implicate suspension and debarment considerations. In that regard, Mr. Wilson successfully represented the chief executive officer of a prominent agricultural conglomerate in a personal debarment proceeding where the conglomerate had become involved in a criminal prosecution. Mr. Wilson also has had experience with procurement issues in the legal malpractice arena where procurement matters have been implicated in the litigation.
