Jared Sammons is an accomplished legal professional with extensive experience in government contracting, procurement law, and small business advisory. As part of his practice at Fluet, he primarily supports the firm’s Government Contracts Practice with all government contracting litigation matters.

Mr. Sammons earned a degree in Political Science from the University of Georgia where he was in the Honors Program. After graduating, he spent two years working at Lockheed Martin as a Contracts Negotiator, where he administered federal and commercial contracts, assisted with audit preparation, and led efforts for contract closeouts.

Ultimately, he decided to pursue a law degree to contribute to the government contracting space from a different perspective. Mr. Sammons received his Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from Washington and Lee University School of Law and began his career journey at the Small Business Administration (SBA). At the SBA, his focus was primarily on managing the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, evaluating loan applications, analyzing business size, and determining creditworthiness for small businesses seeking economic aid.

Following his time at the SBA, Mr. Sammons served as an Assistant General Counsel at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), where he worked on a variety of government contracting matters. These included bid protests, disputes and claims, compliance and transactional issues, internal investigations, and providing legal counsel on the entire contracting lifecycle for major contracts like GSA’s Multiple Award Schedules and Multi-Agency Contracts, involving the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Small Business Act, and other applicable statutes and regulations governing procurement law.

With his diverse background and deep expertise in government contracting law, Mr. Sammons brings invaluable knowledge and experience to Fluet.
