Sean Milani-nia

Sean Milani-nia is a partner at Burr & Forman in Washington, D.C. and leads the firm’s government contracts practice. He represents federal contractors in Contract Disputes Act claims, bid protests, compliance matters, and related litigation. His work includes matters before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Boards of Contract Appeals, the Government Accountability Office, and the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals. He also advises contractors on business arrangements connected to federal contracting.

Sean earned a J.D. from Emory University and a B.S. from Towson University, graduating magna cum laude. His legal education supports a practice that combines litigation, regulatory analysis, and transactional counseling. He applies that background when evaluating government contract disputes, interpreting procurement requirements, and helping contractors structure arrangements that must satisfy federal rules while also supporting broader business objectives.

Sean’s experience includes government contracts-focused diligence for mergers and acquisitions, novations, mentor-protege agreements, joint ventures, and teaming agreements. Sean also advises on compliance with SBA regulations, the Buy American Act, the Civil False Claims Act, the Davis-Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act, the Prompt Payment Act, and Federal Acquisition Regulation ethics and conduct requirements. His practice therefore spans disputes, procurement strategy, compliance, and transactions affecting federal contractors.

Sean Milani-nia also serves the government contracting community through professional organizations, including the Federal Allies Institute, the Society of American Military Engineers, and industry groups connected to construction and federal procurement. His work helps contractors identify legal risks, respond to challenges in the procurement process, and structure business relationships with government contracting requirements in mind. He brings a practical approach to matters that often involve overlapping litigation, regulatory, and commercial considerations.
