Join <a href='https://www.reedsmith.com/en/professionals/c/craig-liza-v'>Liza Craig</a> and summer associates <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordon-deg'>Jordon DeGroote</a> and <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmadyounis1/'>Ahmad Younis</a> as they discuss the recent Government Accountability Office (‘GAO’) protest decision.
