ABOUT THE SPEAKER


J. Travis Pittman
, Holmes Pittman & Haraguchi, LLP / Greensboro, MD and Washington, DC

J. Travis Pittman focuses his practice on government contract disputes under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, and general commercial dispute litigation.

There, he worked on a broad range of matters including corporate governance, immigration, litigation, and consulting services.
