OUR PRACTICE AREAS

Consulting and Compliance

Risk Assessment and Mitigation

How prepared is your NPA to face government scrutiny? We offer tailored consulting services to help AbilityOne NPAs strengthen compliance and prepare executives for government oversight, audits, and investigations. Our services include training sessions on the False Claims Act (FCA) and other enforcement priorities, how to prepare for investigative interviews, and the role and powers of different government agencies operating within the AbilityOne enforcement space.

We help AbilityOne NPAs identify and address compliance risks before they escalate into costly civil or criminal exposure. Our services include targeted risk assessments focused on key enforcement areas, including direct labor ratio compliance, medical documentation and Individual Eligibility Evaluations (IEEs), Procurement List product and service integrity, pricing practices, contractual obligations, and the use of affiliated healthcare providers.

False Claims Act and Gov't Enforcement Defense

When civil or criminal enforcement actions arise, we provide strategic support at every stage. We assist clients with responding to civil investigative demands (CIDs), administrative and grand jury subpoenas, strategy for preserving legal defenses, and preparation for interviews, depositions, and investigative meetings.

AbilityOne Procurement List Counsel

Our firm advises NPAs on AbilityOne Procurement List actions and disputes, including: CNA assignment and allocation appeals, Opportunity Notice responses, contractor impact assessments, and disputes involving PL additions, removals, or reassignments.
