Rogers Joseph O’Donnell P.C. shareholders Stephen L. Bacon and Aaron P. Silberman participated in the American Bar Association Section of Public Contract Law Fall Council Meeting and Fall Forum Conference on November 5-7 in Reston, VA.

The meeting brought together leaders and members of the ABA Section of Public Contract Law to discuss the section’s initiatives, committee activities and priorities underway in the new bar year. The meeting provided an opportunity for practitioners from across the country to engage with developments affecting the government contracts bar and to help shape the section’s future programming and projects. The fall forum offered advanced continuing legal education on cutting-edge government contract law topics.

Bacon leads RJO’s Washington, D.C. office and is a member of its Government Contracts and Construction Practice Groups. He represents contractors, subcontractors and other clients in government contracts and construction disputes involving federal, state and local public projects. His practice includes bid protests, contract claims and litigation arising from public procurement matters. Bacon is currently a Section Council member and the co-chair of the section’s Contract Claims and Disputes Resolution Committee. 

Silberman is a member of the firm’s Government Contracts Practice Group and co-chairs its Construction Practice Group. He is a former chair of the section and a current fellow, and he has served in other leadership roles, including co-chairing its last fall forum in November 2025 and currently editing the second edition of its State False Claims Act book. He represents contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and design professionals in complex government contracts and construction matters. In addition to the council meeting and fall forum, Silberman attended a dinner meeting of the section fellows, a group of former chairs and other invited former leaders of the section.
