David Hammond, Esq.

Lawyer and Managing Partner, Hammond Law PLCC and Hammond Consulting LLC.

David Hammond is a lawyer with 35 years of experience advising government contractors on a wide range of issues, especially in connection with overseas operations. He was the founding chair of the Government and Legal Affairs Committee of the International Stability Operations Association and served as a Co-Chair of the American and Bar Association’s Battlespace and Contingency Contracting Committee of the Section on Public Contract Law.

David was previously a long-time equity partner in a top-ranked Government Contracts practice in the Washington D.C. office of Crowell & Moring LLP, one of the early, founding members of the ISOA. David represented domestic and foreign government contractors on matters before all three branches of the federal government, many of which required crisis management.

Over his career, David successfully represented defense, security, intelligence, and aerospace companies in matters involving awards and protests, internal investigations, voluntary and mandatory disclosures, Congressional investigations and hearings, false claims, suspension and debarment, and prime-subcontractor disputes. Clients called on David so solve numerous complex and politically sensitive disputes arising in foreign countries and to save billions of dollars in government contracts at risk in “bet the company” matters.

He has litigated government contract disputes and other procurement matters before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Federal District Courts, the Government Accountability Office, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, and the Small Business Administration. Reflecting the trust in David’s advice, he often effectively served as an “outside” general counsel to clients.

David graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1988, cum laude with an academic award in corporate finance.
