Potomac Law partner and longtime Washington D.C. government contracts attorney Devon Hewitt was the featured guest on the podcast Small Business Set Aside, hosted by Randy Lange, CEO of Firebird AST.
In the wide-ranging 40-minute discussion, Hewitt talked about the most recent court cases that are impacting the government contracting arena, the increase in protests and joint ventures in the last decade and why that trend looks like it will continue, subcontracting, teaming agreements, and tips for building and sustaining a government contracts business.
