TechLaw Consultants Turns 40: Big Contracting Wins from EPA, DOD Highlight Celebration

CHANTILLY, Va. (Oct. 2, 2023) — TechLaw Consultants, Inc., is celebrating its 40th Anniversary today with key environmental contracting wins that give the company its largest work backlog in its history.

TechLaw Consultants recently scored one of the biggest individual prime contracting wins in its history when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded the company’s TechLaw division a share of up to $450 million to provide environmental consulting support in and around the Great Lakes under the EPA Superfund program. And within the last month, TechLaw became the only contractor to earn more than $50 million in task order awards under EPA’s Environmental Services and Operations (ESO) contract.

Founded on Oct. 1, 1983, as TechLaw, Inc., by some of EPA’s earliest employees, the company has steadily grown and evolved from a two-office shop into a nationwide, employee-owned environmental consulting firm of more than 175 employees and 12 offices.
