Scott Hommer is a co-chair of Venable's Government Contracts Group and a co-chair of the Government Contractors Services Group. Scott has significant experience and skill in counseling clients who do business with federal, state, and local governments. He represents technology companies and government contractors—locally, nationally, and internationally—in contract negotiations and acquisitions, in the protection of intellectual property rights, and in successfully litigating and resolving disputes.

Scott is skilled in assisting clients with the many complicated matters that can arise in government contracting, including administration, claims and disputes, bid protests, contract terminations, teaming agreements, conflicts of interest, cybersecurity, cloud, and intellectual property rights.

Scott develops relationships with his clients that go beyond the usual role of legal advisor. He works closely, proactively, and cost-effectively with clients—developing strategic plans and managing legal issues that arise—often identifying potential challenges before they develop.
