Jerry A. Miles

Jerry assists companies in complying with federal acquisition regulations, mitigating proposal risks, protesting bids, defending against government investigations, completing mergers and acquisitions, responding to government auditors, and resolving prime and subcontractor disputes.

After working with the American Society for International Law (ASIL), the Federal Communications Commission and a downtown law firm, Jerry spent four years as corporate counsel for Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), working on matters at the forefront of international and government contract law. Jerry then worked at a large regional law firm in that firm’s government contracting, international and construction practices before managing a successful government contracts, corporate and employment law firm for over decade.

That experience gives him special perspective that brings added value to clients in the following areas: small business contracting, Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Department of Defense (DOD) and civilian contracting, technology contracting, construction contracting, and international contracting. He has considerable experience in transactional matters, including negotiating nondisclosure agreements (NDA), teaming agreements, subcontract terms, joint venture agreements, and facilitating mergers and acquisitions. Jerry also assists clients with bid protest, requests for equitable adjustments; prime and subcontract claims; cost-accounting, audit, compliance, and investigation responses; and, litigation strategies.

As a past Chair of the Federal Bar Association’s Government Contracts Section and an active member of the international procurement bar, Jerry regularly speaks on international procurement matters. He also is involved in several charitable and philanthropic associations.

Jerry received his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia, where he focused on international relations with an emphasis on the integration of the European Union and Middle Eastern geopolitics. He received his juris doctor from the William and Mary School of Law. When not looking for his next classic car show, Jerry can be found “training” for his next 10k road race on the oceanfront with his “Amstaffs” Fort and Tierney.
