Scott A. Schipma joined Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder in its Government Contracts & Projects Practice Washington, D.C.
“At Greenberg Traurig, particularly in our D.C. office, we continuously seek talented attorneys who not only have the capabilities but the drive to better serve our clients and add to our strength and depth,” said Laura Metcoff Klaus and Robert Mangas, co-managing shareholders of the Washington, D.C. office. “We are excited about Scott’s addition to our office as it further builds on the firm’s government contracts team, particularly given his experience representing and advising clients in the construction and insurance industries.”
Schipma focuses his practice on government contracts, public and private construction disputes, and related insurance matters. He counsels and represents clients on a wide range of publicly-funded contract issues, including award decisions, subcontracting, regulatory compliance, data rights, cybersecurity, cooperative agreements, contract terminations, mergers and acquisitions, lender financing and the preparation and litigation of complex claims related to contract changes.
He also advises and represents clients involved in the construction and insurance industries in the prosecution and defense of claims and disputes involving national and international construction and development projects in various forums.
Schipma was previously a partner at Winston & Strawn. Before entering private practice, he served as an attorney advisor to the U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command, where he advised senior leadership regarding the negotiation, award and administration of aircraft and related weapon-systems procurements. While with the Navy, he also served as claims counsel for the Command and was responsible for the resolution of numerous contractor claims.
