About
Us
Saltman
& Stevens, P.C. was founded in 1980. Because of our focus on
matters involving contractual and other relationships between private
parties or local government entities and the federal government,
we are located in the heart of Washington, D.C. This gives us convenient
access to the courts and administrative tribunals based in and around
Washington, D.C. that resolve disputes related to every type of
government contract and other complex relationships with the federal
government. It also permits us to conduct frequent face-to-face
meetings with top-level agency officials.
Since
its inception, Saltman & Stevens has concentrated its practice
in matters involving resolving our clients' problems with the federal
government. The firm provides counseling and litigation representation
to a nationwide clientele on matters such as preparing and litigating
contract claims, obtaining and maintaining government contracts
and permits, resolving questions of Appropriations Law and advising
clients on compliance with numerous policies and regulations that
significantly affect their ability to deal with the federal government.
Our experience in these areas includes handling complex litigation
with the federal government, federal antitrust law, small business
issues, timber export regulations, suspension and debarment, and
compliance with federal regulations governing sealed bid and negotiated
contracts. In addition, for nearly 30 years we have had a nationally
recognized practice in federal timber contract law and in the use
and enjoyment of natural resources within the national forests,
national parks, and other federal lands. We work regularly with
individual companies and trade associations to resolve natural resource
issues critical to their objectives.
Saltman
& Stevens' practice philosophy is grounded in a team concept
which permits a carefully tailored approach to each client's needs,
drawing upon the particular expertise of each of the firm's attorneys.
This approach enables us to represent entities of varying sizes
effectively and in a manner consistent with their resources and
goals.
Saltman & Stevens offers services in a wide variety of areas
including:
- Handling
complex litigation with the federal government.
-
Preparing, negotiating and, where necessary, prosecuting clients'
claims arising out of Statutory Rights contracts and permits either
administratively or in court.
-
Representing clients in bid protests, small business appeals,
and permit applications at the agency level, before the Government
Accountability Office, Small Business Administration, and in the
federal courts.
-
Advising parties of their rights and obligations under contracts,

-
Representing state and local governments and other entities with

The
attorneys at Saltman & Stevens have had many years of experience
in providing these services to clients. In addition to our emphasis
on a team approach to solving client problems, responsiveness and
innovation are hallmarks of Saltman & Stevens' style of practice.
For example, we have achieved successful results for our clients
through class action litigation and have developed innovative approaches
to solving our clients' problems arising out of contracts or other
agreements that are affected by environmental laws, including the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA), National Forest Management Act (NFMA), and
the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Because
of Saltman & Stevens' location in Washington, D.C. and our frequent
dealings with high-level agency officials, we are able to react
quickly and effectively to address our clients' legal problems at
all appropriate levels of the federal government. We often work
amicably with agency personnel to resolve disagreements between
the government and our clients involving appropriations matters,
the award, administration, or termination of contracts or permits
as well as various land use issues. Where appropriate and effective,
we have also utilized congressional assistance to achieve our clients'
objectives. When necessary, we provide vigorous and effective representation
in the courts and before the boards of contract appeals.
Delivering
value to clients is the keystone of our practice. Because of our
success over the years in delivering high-quality and efficient
legal representation, we have maintained long-term client relationships
and have established ourselves as one of the preeminent firms in
our focused practice areas.
