David's Bio

Dave Nadler focuses his practice on bid protests; government audits and investigations; the False Claims Act; contract claims, terminations and disputes; government cost, accounting, and pricing issues; suspension and debarment cases; the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and government compliance matters, including mandatory disclosure issues. 

Dave is consistently rated by Chambers USA as one of the leading government contracts attorneys in the country. According to Chambers, “clients appreciate that he is ‘extremely responsive, very knowledgeable and provides common-sense advice. He understands how to advise businesses in a way that is practical from both a business and legal perspective.’” Seen as a “[t]rusted adviser,” clients also say that Dave “has great client relation skills, very deep experience and is able to anticipate issues, not just be reactive. He asks the right questions and this allows him to give the best advice.” Dave is recognized by sources as “a master of the subject matter” and as being “among the best government contracts attorneys in the country.” 

Dave was selected by Law360 as a Government Contracts MVP for 2017, and under his leadership the Firm’s Government Contracts practice was twice selected by Law360 as a Practice Group of the Year. He is also a recipient of the Federal 100 award, which recognizes top executives from the government, academia, and the private sector for their contributions to the government contracts community. Dave was selected as a Top Lawyer, Government Contracts, by Washingtonian Magazine in 2018.
