Meghan Leemon and I caught up after her excellent presentation on joint ventures at the National HUBZone Conference in Virginia. Meghan, who practices out of PilieroMazza’s Colorado office, was involved in one of the most important joint-venture cases in years. She also had a fascinating tip on how larger small businesses can use JVs to keep their status longer. We then talked through her recent wins on 8(a) suspensions and few recent SBA OHA decisions.
The cases that Meghan works on aren’t just interesting legal decisions. They also create new regulatory guidance for 8(a) firms completing their annual reviews and responding to the ongoing SBA audit.
