Joy Sturm partners with biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies to build and protect their businesses with the United States government. Having spent 20+ years building a practice focused in the life sciences government contracting sector, Joy is able to offer practical solutions to challenges that contractors face throughout contract formation and performance.

Apart from supporting clients with contract formation and compliance-related matters, Joy handles federal contract-related investigations, compliance audits, associated policy and procedure development, training, and diligence associated with government contractor acquisitions.
As a leading voice in the biotechnology contracting community, Joy advises on all country of origin-related laws (including “Buy American” programs) affecting contractors. Joy also advises on the compulsory disclosures and price ceilings associated with Federal Supply Schedule contracts, pharmaceutical price ceilings per the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992, VA and DoD Tricare health coverage, and related formulary and pharmacy programs.
