Overview

Jackson Wyatt Moore, Jr.'s practice focuses on government contracting and business dispute resolution, including litigation, mediation, and arbitration.

Jackson has significant experience handling complex civil litigation, including class actions, shareholder and internal corporate disputes, breaches of contract and trade practices, intellectual property matters and investor and employment litigation. He has handled numerous matters on an expedited basis and has represented parties in disputes pending in state and federal trial courts, the North Carolina Business Court, and the North Carolina Court of Appeals.

Jackson’s government contracting practice includes dispute resolution, including pre- and post-award bid protests of federal and state agency procurements; practicing before the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA); pursuing Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REAs) and claims before the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA), the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) and state and federal courts; and litigating contractor disputes with other private businesses. His compliance work helps clients to navigate the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency subparts (including the DFARS) as well as state of North Carolina requirements. Jackson also drafts subcontracts, teaming arrangements and joint venture agreements so that they comply with applicable federal and state law.

Before joining Smith Anderson in 2001, Jackson practiced at one of the Southwest's largest, full-service law firms in Houston, Texas.
