Until September 15, 2025, Vanessa served as Program Manager supporting a multi-million-dollar federal legal services contract for the USDA Office of General Counsel, where she led multi-jurisdictional legal teams and maintained performance, compliance, and budget integrity within a highly regulated federal contracting environment. In that role, the firm served as a subcontractor, and Vanessa received the highest available rating under the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the federal government’s system used to evaluate contractor performance for future contract award decisions. Strong performance under the engagement contributed to the award of an additional federal contract opportunity.
