Frank M. Rapoport is a senior partner and member of the firm’s Board of Directors. 

Widely regarded for his ability to strategize and implement profitable business initiatives for clients in the transportation, real estate development, construction, design and engineering, defense and aerospace, security, life sciences, healthcare and IT, and government services industries, Mr. Rapoport recently, from project inception, assisted a real estate developer in achieving a $2B inventory in the military housing privatization initiative.  His team at McKenna Long & Aldridge includes professionals experienced in U.S. and international government contracting, government affairs at all levels, and seasoned business and economic advisors with years of transportation, infrastructure and privatization experiences, both domestic and internationally.

Mr. Rapoport’s business acumen is sharpened by his many years of “big ticket” litigation experience during which he represented contractors in all phases of large government-funded infrastructure projects.

Mr. Rapoport routinely counsels companies on bid protests, debarment and suspension, defective pricing, procurement fraud and voluntary disclosure, change order claims, differing site condition claims, government-caused delay claims, convenience and default termination claims, breach of contract claims, subcontractor claims, business and minority issues, joint venturing, privatization, and marketing to the federal, state, and local government.
