Michael R. Nevarez, our founder, has served small businesses for over thirty (30) years, beginning with his employment at the U.S. Small Business Administration Headquarters office in Washington, DC, and during and subsequent to his employment as a Federal Contracts attorney at the Headquarters offices of the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Our Firm has a rich history of providing legal advice and assistance to firms seeking to obtain certification to do business under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) Program, the 8(a) Business Development Program, the Veteran & Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Program (VOSB/SDVOSB), the Native American Minority-Owned Business Program, as well as the various GSA Schedules Program of the U.S. General Services Administration, and recently with the new Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program.

We can prepare and process all of the legal documents necessary to form a business that complies with pertinent Federal Regulations under various Government Contracting programs. We will help you choose the most appropriate legal entity, in view of pertinent capital and tax considerations, and then register the entity with the appropriate state and Federal authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Dunn & Bradstreet (D&B) and the applicable departments of the Federal Government. The finished documentation would allow you to obtain a bank account and provide you with the basics to begin to compete for Federal contracts, once all the documentation is approved and/or returned by the appropriate agencies.

Our Firm can advise and assist you in all Government legal matters, including business plan preparation, bid and proposal preparation, contract formation and negotiation, contractor responsibility/responsiveness matters, ethics and contract compliance, internal contract controls, contract interpretation, Federal and State labor law issues, preparation, negotiation and settlement of any change orders and claims for allowable direct and indirect costs and profit, subcontracts, payments and funding, Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), DCAA contract audits, issues concerning SBA, GSA and military agency rules, regulations and procedures, and generally any and all other Federal laws and regulations.
