Bio
Assisting clients in a variety of government contracting matters, Anna guides commercial businesses through bid protests at all levels, size and status protests, requests for equitable adjustment, claims, and appeals. Her work encompasses small business procurement matters, particularly on issues related to eligibility, participation in the federal small business set-aside programs, and maintaining regulatory compliance. Anna also works closely with PilieroMazza’s False Claims Act (FCA) Group and addresses other issues arising under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Contract Disputes Act (CDA).
A member of the Firm’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy team, Anna works actively to help clients come into compliance with cybersecurity and data privacy laws. In particular, she assists government contractors working with the Department of Defense (DOD) to assess and meet their compliance obligations for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), which impacts a contractor’s ability to bid for and maintain a contract with the DOD.
While earning her law degree, Anna served as a law clerk for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and received the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
Anna is proficient in Arabic.
