Episode 5 - DOGE and Federal Government Leasing

This episode of the Deep Dirt Dive investigates DOGE’s recent efforts to evaluate and restructure the real estate portfolio owned or leased by the GSA, on behalf of Federal agencies, throughout the U.S. The presentation analyzes the significant, ongoing, and evolving efforts of the DOGE team to pare down and reshape the largest single portfolio of owned and leased properties in the country. We explore the initial and prospective results of this DOGE initiative and the issues it raises for attorneys in representing clients whose properties are implicated in potential lease terminations or who might wish to bid on excess Federal properties.ACREL Fellows David Miller and Andrew Weiner of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP are joined by their partner Michael Rizzo, a Government Contracts & Disputes specialist, as they discuss their insights and personal experience from years of representing clients in this area from their respective bases in New York, Los Angeles and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
