Dean Dilley, former chairman of Patton Boggs’ Business Law practice group, assists clients on matters involving international transactions, government contracts, and litigation. Mr. Dilley advises foreign companies and sovereign governments with interests in the United States, as well as U.S. companies with interests abroad. He also represents U.S. and foreign companies in connection with contracts awarded by the U.S. and other governments.
Mr. Dilley has represented several foreign governments in connection with international commercial transactions, international arbitration and litigation, military procurement matters, and defense cooperation agreements with the United States. This work has included multinational litigation on behalf of sovereign states and public officials; contract negotiations for large infrastructure projects, health care, and education facilities; negotiating and administering bilateral military access agreements; legal issues concerning the transfer of weapons, U.S. military aid, and the funding of joint-use military infrastructure; U.S. export control issues; renegotiation of foreign military sales debt; legal issues arising under Status of Forces Agreements; and a wide variety of procurement issues related to purchases, leases, and other transfers of goods and services acquired by sovereign states.
In addition to the representation of foreign governments, Mr. Dilley maintains an active government contracts practice, and represents clients involved in procurement by most federal agencies. He has been extensively involved in the preparation, negotiation, and litigation of contract claims; government contract cost accounting and allowability issues; subcontract transactions; mergers and acquisitions involving government contractors; privatization of government enterprises; the transfer of rights in data and computer software; foreign military sales transactions and related disputes between contractors and foreign sovereigns; and export licensing for armaments, spacecraft, and related intellectual property.
Before joining Patton Boggs, Mr. Dilley was an attorney with the General Counsel of the Air Force in the Pentagon, where he provided legal counsel in connection with a wide variety of government contracts matters, procurement policy, and Congressional liaison. He regularly provided legal counsel to procurement officials concerning pre-award contract planning and source selection procedures; protests and other contract award challenges; post-award contract administration issues; cost accounting and audit matters; application of procurement-specific statutes and regulations; specialized problems arising from procurement of major weapons systems; and international transactions related to Foreign Military Sales and the placement of U.S. military facilities or equipment outside of the United States. He also served as counsel to the Air Force Debarment and Suspension Review Board, and counsel to the Extraordinary Contractual Relief Board.
