Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP

Preston Gates Launches Government Contracts Litigation Weblog
WASHINGTON, D.C. — One of the nation’s premier law firms, Preston Gates & Ellis LLP, today announced the launch of Government Contracts Litigation (www.govcontractslitigation.com), a weblog or "blog" devoted entirely to matters pertaining to government contracts litigation. Following the success of the e-discovery blog, www.govcontractslitigation.com will give subscribers and visitors access to the latest news and trends in government contracts litigation and allow them to stay abreast of the ongoing developments in the legislative process. Visitors can also find information about upcoming events and additional external resources relating to government contracts litigation.

"This blog presents an opportunity to share our knowledge and experience in contract litigation," said Bill Shook, partner at Preston Gates and head of the firm’s government contracts, construction and procurement policy group. "This one-of-a-kind blog is focused solely on government contracts litigation and will be a valuable informational tool for contractors and government officials alike."

The blog, which is updated regularly, is the first among the nation’s AmLaw 200 law firms dedicated exclusively to government contracts litigation. It condenses the most pertinent information on current and past government contracts litigation into one easy-to-search system.

Over the past few years, the use of blogs to communicate with clients, prospects and the public has become a growing trend for attorneys and law firms. This trend in "blogging" is due in part to the convenience and efficiency of the technology. Blogs allow information to be uploaded immediately to the Web, side-stepping the internal lag time typical with a traditional Web site. The frequency and speed with which blogs can be updated make them an ideal vehicle for providing the most up-to-date information, a feature that lends itself well to the fluid landscape of contract litigation.

The blog is published by the government contracts, construction and procurement policy group, a team comprised of more than 20 attorneys who know the federal marketplace and have helped to shape the public sector procurement landscape during the last 20 years. The group brings together attorneys and professionals with varied backgrounds and perspectives at federal and state agencies and private practice to effectively address each client matter. In addition to litigation, the group counsels clients in contracting and construction matters.

About Preston Gates & Ellis
Founded in 1883, Preston Gates & Ellis LLP has long been recognized as one of the premier, full-service law firms in the country. Preston Gates provides clients with sound legal counsel and trusted representation, handling complex business transactions, litigation, intellectual property and technology matters, as well as governmental, regulatory and public policy work.
