Federal Acquisition Professionals

Federal acquisition and oversight professionals, including Contracting Officers, COR/COTRs, grant officials, and certifying officials, face growing scrutiny as agencies continue to strengthen policies designed to increase transparency in payments to contractors, grant recipients, and program beneficiaries. These updates often aim to reduce misallocation, administrative errors, and funding irregularities, which can place additional attention on the decisions and documentation of federal oversight personnel.

FEDS Protection professional liability insurance (PLI) provides peace of mind, responsive customer service, and legal defense. We're trusted by federal employees and endorsed by leading federal employee associations nationwide.

“The risks facing federal employees are too great and the out-of-pocket costs for legal representation too high for federal employees to fail to protect themselves with FEDS Protection.”

Christopher J. Keeven, Partner, Shaw Bransford & Roth P.C.

“I encourage all federal employees to protect themselves and invest in a professional liability policy. It is a small price to pay in exchange for the protection and security it can provide you.”

David Schertler, Managing Partner, Schertler & Onorato, LLP

"PLI from FEDS Protection is a no-brainer for any federal employee. The government investigates countless allegations of wrongdoing, and I routinely see well-meaning managers and employees caught up in these cases, even over frivolous claims. Competent legal representation is critical to mitigate exposure and defend against misconduct allegations. Too often I see employees face termination or severe discipline that could have been avoided with counsel during the investigation. The risks are too great and the cost of legal defense too high for federal employees not to protect themselves with FEDS.”

Christopher J. Keeven | Attorney at Law, Shaw Bransford & Roth P.C.
