Erin R. Davis

Erin counsels clients on government contracts law from the pre-solicitation phase through contract closeout, including interpretation of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clause requirements; subcontracting agreements; compliance with the Buy American Act, Berry Amendment, and Trade Agreements Act; issues related to nondisclosure agreements; teaming agreements and contractor team arrangements; supply agreements, name changes, and novations; grants, other transactions, and other agreements; and specialized federal acquisition including Other Transactions and the SBIR/STTR programs. Erin offers practical advice designed to comply with the ever-changing laws, and regulations in increasingly competitive federal acquisitions. She assists clients in preparing and submitting bid protests at the federal and state levels, contract termination proposals, requests for equitable adjustments (REAs), claims before the Boards of Contract Appeals, and cost-related matters. Erin also works extensively with small businesses and their partners related to Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, set aside programs and eligibility, size determinations, and size protests and appeals before the Office on Hearings and Appeals. In addition, she counsels clients on compliance with grant proposals and awards, as well as grant administration, performance and compliance under 2 CFR 200: the Uniform Guidance, the State of Ohio, and local county and municipal regulations. Erin assists clients with understanding technical data rights (intellectual property rights) for civilian and defense agencies, under contracts, SBIR/STTR, Other Transactions, grants and cooperative agreements.
