Diversity Certification & Compliance

Chico & Nunes can help you establish, maintain, and increase the value of your Diversity Program Certification and expand your business opportunities

Let our attorneys help you maximize the value of your Diversity Program Certification and grow your relationships among other companies and potential business partners

As a certified MBE law firm, Chico & Nunes is especially proud to work with disadvantaged, minority, women, veteran, disabled, and small business enterprises to successfully obtain appropriate certifications with various agencies throughout the country.

The path to those certifications in Illinois is complex. Our attorneys have the deep knowledge and expertise to efficiently navigate you through the entire process, including appealing a denial of certification.

Along with successful Diversity certifications, we also help your business
  • Maintain your status as a certified diverse supplier by monitoring your size and structure to ensure compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations
  • Amend your existing certification to add NAICS codes that expand your areas of specialty, creating new opportunities for your business
  • Work through transitioning ownership to family members or by company sale, and navigate the process of retaining certification where possible and/or continuing to receive credit on existing contracts
  • Increase opportunities for your business by advising you of prime contractor bid incentives that encourage inclusion of business enterprises owned by minorities (MBE), women (WBE), veterans (VBE), and people with disabilities (BEPD)
  • Draft joint venture, teaming, mentor protégé, and subcontract agreements for target market and other contracting opportunities.
  • Analyze relevant diversity and/or small business requirements and put together compliance plans
  • Put together and submit responsive bids and presentations
  • Handle compliance issues that arise in the scope of contract execution
