We know the value of the work that federal grantees do every day for patients, young students and their families, and other underserved populations. It’s why we’ve been deeply committed to advancing the lives of individuals and the missions of organizations for more than 50 years.
Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP’s Federal Grants group works with a wide variety of health and human service organizations serving the public interest. Let us help you protect your ability to carry out your mission and to serve those most in need.
Grantees Need An Ally
The laws governing federal grants are complex, expansive, and often confusing. We’ve been working with recipients of federal funds, including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, local governments, colleges and universities, research institutions, and various health care and education entities for decades on proper grants management through the entire grants lifecycle. From drafting policies and procedures and establishing compliance, to responding to audit findings, our Federal Grants attorneys are with you every step of the way.
Grants Management from A to Z
Our attorneys are well versed in the problems that can arise when federal requirements meet real-world situations. We help clients through pre- and post-award matters, such as financial and program requirements, procurements, property issues, termination and enforcement, as well as how best to prepare for and respond to government reviews, audits, and cost disallowances.
No program wants to find itself in a crisis situation, and our attorneys have years of experience advising on programmatic requirements, options and obligations; interpreting and applying federal statutes, regulations, and guidance, including the Supercircular/Omnicircular; developing and implementing self-assessment and compliance programs; and counseling on governance requirements and best practices to assist clients in shoring up their processes – and keeping their grants.
In the sometimes-unsure footing of the federal grants world, our attorneys also work with clients to create the solutions that are right for their programs – from negotiation and drafting sub-recipient and contractor agreements to facilitating affiliations, collaborations, and partnerships between grantees and other parties. And while such action may be a last resort, our Federal Grants group has assisted many clients in responding to audit findings, government inquiries, cost disallowances, and more, and our attorneys have represented clients in negotiations and litigation at all judicial levels.
Learning for a Stronger Program
In addition to helping individual clients work through the array of questions and concerns surrounding federal grants, the attorneys in the Federal Grants group lead online webinars and in-person trainings and seminars for thousands of grantees each year on issues from cost allocation and time and effort reporting to governance and program monitoring.
We’re dedicated to helping grantees stay in compliance with the intricate federal grants requirements so they can continue providing services to populations that need them most.
