Koprince McCall Pottroff

What Koprince McCall Pottroff does

Koprince McCall Pottroff LLC is a privately held boutique law firm headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas that provides legal representation exclusively to federal government contractors. The firm was founded by Steven Koprince in 2012 (originally as Koprince Law LLC) and rebranded to its current name in 2016 when partners Shane McCall and Nicole Pottroff joined as equity partners; the founder retired in 2021. The firm serves small-business contractors navigating the federal procurement system, with particular focus on SBA socioeconomic set-aside programs (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB/EDWOSB), bid protests (GAO, FAA ODRA), SBA size determinations and OHA appeals, NAICS code appeals, contract claims and appeals, mentor-protégé and joint venture arrangements, and broader FAR/DFARS compliance matters.\n\nThe firm's service portfolio spans roughly 15 core legal service offerings plus four consulting-adjacent practices (compliance audits, contractor training, public speaking, and media inquiries). Supporting the legal practice is a substantial proprietary content asset: the SmallGovCon blog, with over 1,100 posts, and a published GovCon Handbook series covering SBA size and affiliation rules, joint ventures, the 8(a) program, and size protests and appeals, alongside the AMACOM-published trade book The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts. The firm maintains a small bench of equity partners, partners, and one associate attorney supported by three administrative staff.\n\nRevenue is generated through hourly billing and fixed-fee arrangements for legal matters, supplemented by retainers, training fees, compliance audit fees, and book sales. The firm operates from a single Lawrence, Kansas office but serves clients nationwide, since most federal procurement forums accept electronic filings regardless of counsel geography. Go-to-market is content-led: the SmallGovCon blog and GovCon Handbooks drive top-of-funnel awareness, while industry conference speaking at APTAC, National 8(a) Association, HUBZone, and PTAC events, combined with attorney quotes in Washington Post, NBC News, Fox Business News, Law360, and Bloomberg Law, converts that awareness into engagements. No external funding has been raised; the firm operates as a self-funded professional services partnership.
