Claims, REAs and Dispute Resolution

As a government contractor, there may be times you want to pursue a claim against the government or request an equitable adjustment (REA). Our government contracts lawyers are experienced in preparing the documentation for these procedures and helping you favorably resolve them — through negotiation, litigation and alternative dispute resolution.

We regularly appear before the boards of contract appeals and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in matters involving the following:

• Claims under contract remedy provisions
• Challenges to contract terminations for default
• Disagreements about cost accounting principles and standards
• Disputes arising from termination for convenience proposals

Our lawyers also have substantial experience resolving disputes between prime contractors and subcontractors in such areas as software development, transportation of goods by sea and information technology hardware. In one matter, we prepared and negotiated claims arising from construction of military family housing, resulting in recovery by our client of 90 percent of claimed amount.
