Technical Excellence in Government Contracts
and Construction Matters Since 1893.
Smith Currie Oles Morrison

At Oles Morrison, our attorneys handle bid protests of all sizes and complexity across many industries. Drawing on experience from our proven record of success winning bid protests and defending contracts awarded to our clients, we regularly represent contractors in pre- and post-award protests at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC), the FAA Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA), state courts, and federal, state and local agencies.

Our record of success in bid protests speaks for itself. Since 2013, our team’s sustain rate representing protestors at GAO is approximately four times the national average, and Oles Morrison is one of only two law firms in the nation with a sustain rate in excess of 50% at GAO (of the 60+ law firms with at least ten merits decisions representing protesters at GAO published during that period).

Communication with our clients about the bid protest process is critical to success. Before we file a protest, we ensure our clients are educated and informed on the protest process, as well as fully apprised of the potential costs, benefits and risks of a protest. We consider not only the chances of winning the protest, but also the potential impacts on customer relations and the likelihood a successful protest could lead to a contract award.

The Legal 500 (2019, 2021, and 2021 Edition) recognized Oles Morrison as one of the leading law firms for Government Contracts and bid protests in the United States.
