Fox Rothschild welcomes Daniel D. Rounds to the Washington, DC office as a partner in the Construction and Federal Government Contracts Practice Groups.

"Dan’s extensive work guiding clients through complex government contracting and construction matters and disputes, along with his leadership in the area of federal contracting and construction law, will be a tremendous asset to our clients” said Doug P. Hibshman, Fox’s Washington, DC Office Managing Partner. “We are thrilled to welcome him to the team.”

Rounds is particularly well-versed in helping contractors navigate domestic preference laws and regulations such as Buy American, Buy America, and Build America, Buy America.

A leader in the industry, Rounds serves on the Board of Governors of the Virginia State Bar's Construction Law and Public Contracts Section and is a Contributing Editor to The Construction Lawyer, a publication of the ABA Forum on Construction Law.
