With more than a decade of experience, Will has represented private and public clients in cases involving state procurements/bid protests, state licensing, and administrative rules/rulemaking, among other issues.

Will also advises clients with respect to ongoing administrative and legal compliance matters. Among other areas, he represents clients before state regulators in connection with obtaining necessary approvals and waivers, crafting pertinent administrative guidance, and — more broadly — helping businesses, associations, and individuals operate in the most efficient and equitable regulatory environment possible. Will has extensive experience assisting clients in newly emerging industries, such as medical marijuana and the “name, image, and likeness” market for college athletes. In these industries, he assists clients in navigating applicable regulations and processes.

Will has extensive experience providing counsel with respect to state licensure and bid-submission issues, helping ensure that his clients are best positioned to defend the award — or challenge the denial — of a license or contract. Well-versed in the review and analysis of published specifications, he provides strategic guidance on the viability of challenges to such specifications and helps clients conform their applications or bids to an agency’s criteria or parameters.
