How Shohei is building a better working world

While doing business with the US government can be rewarding, it comes with strict public rules, regulations and requirements. Shohei helps navigate the complexities of government contracts and grants by advising clients about their rights and obligations, while doing so in a compliant, fair and equitable manner.

Government Contract Services empowers clients in times of conflict and dispute with objective advice and strategic insights and analysis to rationally recover the costs they are entitled, while preserving the critical relationship between the private and public sectors.
