Law360 names Kevin Mullen an MVP of the Year for Government Contracts

Kevin P. Mullen, partner and former co-chair of Morrison Foerster’s Government Contracts & Public Procurement practice, has been named Law360’s 2023 MVP for Government Contracts. The award recognizes attorneys who made top contributions to their practice groups and earned extraordinary victories throughout the year.

Kevin has extensive experience in numerous facets of government contracts matters, including agency procurements, subcontracting, teaming and joint venture relationships, contract performance issues, intellectual property, compliance, due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, and procurement fraud matters. He represents clients in the preparation and litigation of contract adjustment claims and terminations for both government contracts and construction projects.

Kevin is especially well respected for his work on bid protests, representing both protesters and contract awardees before the U.S. Government Accountability Office, Court of Federal Claims, federal district courts, and state protest forums. He has represented clients – including some of the largest government contractors – in more than 300 protests over the course of his 35-year career. Kevin’s recent highlights include representing AECOM in the successful defense of a $320 million FEMA contract award, HTDA in the successful protest of a $45 billion DOE contract award, and ManTech in the successful protest of a $170 million TSA contract award.

Kevin is active in the ABA’s Public Contracts Law Section, where he has served as a co-chair of the Contract Claims and Disputes Resolution Committee and the Bid Protest Committee, and a vice chair of the Acquisition Reform and Emerging Issues Committee, as well as a member of the Section’s Council and its Interim Membership Director. He also served on the Board of Governors of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims Bar Association.

In addition, Kevin is dedicated to pro bono work and is currently representing The Children’s Storefront, a non-profit organization dedicated to early childhood development, in an appeal to the Federal Communications Commission related to the federal government’s E-Rate program, which subsidizes telecommunications and information services for schools.
