Blank Rome LLP’s Robyn Burrows helped undo a U.S. Government Accountability Office ruling on a personnel dispute that cost KPMG a contract and convinced the U.S. Department of Energy to allow millions of dollars of costs for a Hanford Site contractor, earning her a spot among the government contracts law practitioners under age 40 honored by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/1850554">Law360 as Rising Stars</a>.

Why she’s a government contracts attorney:&nbsp; [...]

Her career began at the nonprofit Cause of Action, where she got a lot of hands-on experience handling Freedom of Information Act requests and other administrative law matters. After that, she spent the next four years at [a] construction litigation firm…

“Those early experiences had really inspired me to learn the ins and outs of federal procurement law and then focus my practice on government contracts here at Blank Rome,” she said.

[...] What motivates her:&nbsp; Burrows said "being able to get creative and dig into the case and figure out the strong points, the weak points and whatever gaps we have to fill in" motivates her.&nbsp;

She added that she’s generally doing that “all the time” with any protest. However, she highlighted a “brand-name only” dispute … as one where she had to get pretty creative with highly technical stuff.

“It got highly technical, and we ended up engaging an expert on that case,” she said. “I think that was very compelling to GAO. It was a really good way to be able to translate some of these highly technical concepts into something that a GAO attorney would be able to understand, and you know, and use that to be able to determine that the agency’s justification actually wasn't sufficient, given that both products were able to accomplish what the agency needed.”
