In his role, Mr. Wilkerson oversees the legal dimensions of McNear's government and commercial contract portfolio — reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts to protect the company's rights and obligations at every stage. His deep knowledge of government contracting law, federal acquisition regulations, and employment law makes him an invaluable asset in the highly regulated environments McNear operates within.

Combined with 15+ years of active practice, he brings both the intellectual rigor of a world-class legal education and the hard-won wisdom of over a decade and a half in the field.

Mr. Wilkerson works closely with the CEO, President, CFO, and VP of Contracts to ensure all business decisions are legally sound, all agreements are protective and enforceable, and all operations comply with the full spectrum of applicable federal, state, and local law. His counsel is a cornerstone of McNear Agency Services' ability to operate with confidence, integrity, and long-term resilience.
