Federal Government Contracting

Washington, DC Attorney

Washington, DC attorney Leslie McAdoo brings ten years of law experience, much of it in courtroom defense, and a background in federal employment and security clearances, to her work on behalf of businesses contracting with the federal government.

As a Special Agent for the Defense Security Services (DSS), Ms. McAdoo worked on the industrial security team that supported the National Security Agency and assisted new government contractors in acclimatizing to security clearance requirements.

Through this experience, Ms. McAdoo identified a need in the business community for individual contractors and small and medium-sized businesses, including 8A firms, for access to business and legal counsel at a reasonable cost. This promotes success in their government contracts and avoids unintentional violation of the complex rules and regulations that govern business with federal agencies. Ms. McAdoo also engages in commercial litigation for a select business clientele.

The stakes are high when working with the Feds:

• An accounting error that is significant, but correctable in the business world, may be grounds for debarment from all government contracting, closing your business down.
• A felony or even a misdemeanor charge may put your security clearance, your career, and even your business relationship with the federal government on the line.
• A whistleblower allegation from a disgruntled former employee can bring the Inspector General’s agents to your office for a visit that may result in suspension of your contract.

Washington, DC attorney Leslie McAdoo provides consulting services to prepare small businesses for government contracting work, including creating compliance codes and security programs to avoid administrative sanctions. Avoid revocation of security clearances.

As a criminal defense attorney, Ms. McAdoo represents federal employees at administrative hearings, individuals and companies facing criminal charges, including charges for white-collar crime, and lawyers facing charges of violation of professional responsibility. Criminal defense attorney McAdoo also represents clients at probation and parole hearings.
