Were You A 
Supervisor?
If you were a supervisor, you have an additional restriction in addition the ones that apply to all former Government employees. Under 18 U.S.C. 207(a)(2), you have a two year bar from representing any third party back to the Government on any particular matter involving specific parties that were actually pending under your official responsibility in your last year of federal service.
This restriction applies only to actual supervisors, not to team leaders. It also does not matter whether you worked on the particular matter personally and substantially.
Example: You were an SES supervisor and your subordinates were involved in contract awards given to ABC Corp. While you were a Government employee, you recused yourself from participation because you owned stock in that company. After you left Federal service, you took a position with that company and now want to make representations back the the Government on that same contract. Even though you didn't work personally and substantially on the contract given your recusal, you are still barred for two years from making representation on your new employer's behalf back to the Government.
