Experience

Jason N. Workmaster focuses his practice on government contracts-related litigation, including civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) cases, bid protests, and contract disputes.  He has represented a host of clients in these types of cases in U.S. District Court, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the Government Accountability Office. 

Mr. Workmaster has successfully defended a contractor in a jury trial in a qui tam FCA case alleging that the contractor had fraudulently obtained a number of GSA Schedule contracts.  He also has represented other prospective or current GSA Schedule contractors with regard to their pricing disclosures and contract compliance.  In the bid protest arena, Mr. Workmaster has successfully protested the award of a multi-million dollar contract to provide essentially all of the information technology services of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  He also has successfully represented a major defense contractor in defending against a protest that alleged that the contractor should have been disqualified from receiving the protested award because the contractor had an organizational conflict of interest.  With regard to disputes between contractors and the federal government, Mr. Workmaster has extensive experience litigating such cases before the federal boards of contract appeals and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  These cases have involved complex termination and cost allowability issues.  Mr. Workmaster also has experience litigating cases, brought in U.S. District Court, involving disputes between contractors under federal government contracts.

Outside of the litigation context, Mr. Workmaster has assisted clients with drafting teaming agreements and subcontracts and with conducting due diligence reviews and internal compliance investigations.

Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Workmaster was a law clerk to the Honorable Eric G. Bruggink, U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

In law school, he served as Managing Editor of the Regent University Law Review.
