In quickfire bid protest litigation where a company’s must-win contracts are on the line, Amy O’Sullivan has earned a reputation for her responsiveness, quick absorption of information, and nimbleness in working with companies of all sizes and levels of experience as government contractors. She blends her well-rounded procurement knowledge with her niche experience of the full range of small-business issues with successful outcomes, earning the trust of clients even when litigating subject to the informational sharing limitations of protective orders. Amy also extends her practice to include investigations, mergers and acquisitions, and counseling, particularly on matters involving the complex U.S. Small Business Administration requirements and compliance.
Amy has litigated extensively, with well over 100 bid and size protests throughout her career, before the Government Accountability Office, the Court of Federal Claims, and the SBA’s Office of Hearings and Appeals. As protester or intervenor, these matters range from procurements worth billions of dollars to small 8(a) set-aside competitions and involve all substantive issues, including complex cost evaluation challenges working with support from consultants, unique technical issues, and investigative support associated with organizational conflicts of interest.
Amy’s counseling practice ranges from the day-to-day survival issues facing small businesses to the complex and specific legal questions from large defense contractors. She regularly works on the unique issues confronting small businesses as well as those arising in connection with teaming and contracting with them, including navigating the SBA’s regulations in such areas as affiliation; limitations on subcontracting; the mentor-protege program; the Small Business Innovation Research program; small business, 8(a), Alaska Native corporation, women-owned small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business status issues; and the Paycheck Protection Program. She reviews and negotiates terms of subcontracts, teaming agreements, mentor-protege agreements, and joint venture agreements.
Amy has also assumed numerous roles in connection with the mergers or acquisitions of government contractors, including conducting due diligence reviews, compliance with SBA notice and approval requirements, preparing/negotiating government contracts’ specific representations and disclosure schedules, and handling the novation of contracts. She has led internal investigations of potential civil and criminal matters for major corporations and assisted in disclosures to various government agencies. Amy has counseled clients on establishing, enforcing, and maintaining overall compliance programs. She has provided on-site training for companies for a range of issues, including contracting with small businesses, ethics and compliance, and the basics of government contracting. She has also served as a course instructor for Federal Publications Seminars for a number of topics, including bid protests, past performance, the basics of government contracting, cost-reimbursement contracting, and A-76 procurements.
Amy has been named one of the top lawyers in the government contracts field by Chambers USA. She is an Acritas Star, an Acritas Independently Rated Lawyer, and a fellow of the American Bar Foundation. In 2017, she was included in Law360’s list of “Government Contract MVPs.”
Amy received her B.A. with honors in art history and political science from Williams College in 1996, where she was also a member of the swimming, water polo, and rugby teams. She graduated from William & Mary School of Law in 1999, where she served as notes editor of the William & Mary Law Review and articles editor of the William & Mary Journal of Women and the Law.
Prior to joining Crowell & Moring, Amy clerked for the Hon. Jerome B. Friedman of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Amy is a member of the bars of the District of Columbia, the state of Virginia, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
