Greenberg Traurig Expands Its Washington, D.C. Office with the Addition of Jacob B. Pankowski

WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
The international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP announced that
Jacob B. Pankowski has joined its Washington, D.C. office as a
shareholder in the government contracts practice group. Prior to
joining Greenberg Traurig, Pankowski was a partner with Nixon Peabody
in Washington, D.C.

"Jacob is a tremendously effective attorney with over 25 years in
government contracts," said Fred Shaheen, national chairman of
Greenberg Traurig's government contracts practice. "His experience
with defense, aerospace, and homeland security clients will complement
the existing capabilities of our government contracts practice. Jacob
is well-regarded in the Washington legal community and is a great
addition to our team."

Pankowski's practice is focused on representing government
contractors and subcontractors of all sizes in their dealings and
disputes with federal, state, and local governments. His practice
covers a broad range of areas and concentrates in contract and
subcontract performance issues, claims analysis and preparation,
information technology issues, rights in technical data and
intellectual property, and systems integration contracts.

Pankowski has been at the forefront of issues relating to homeland
security and participated in crafting recent federal legislation. As a
result, he has actively counseled clients participating in the federal
and state homeland security marketplace, addressing a variety of
issues relating to compliance with the Homeland Security and SAFETY
Acts, including obtaining indemnification relating to the sale of
anti-terrorism technologies.

An active member of the National Defense Industrial Association,
Pankowski served as the two-term Chair of the Contract and Acquisition
Management Committee. He earned his J.D. (magna cum laude) from the
George Washington University Law School, where he was a member of the
Order of the Coif. He received his undergraduate degree (magna cum
laude with honors) from the Indiana University Bloomington, where he
was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
