Federal Contract Administration
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its supplementary regulations impose a host of obligations on contractors that can impact the way a contractor performs a contract. These regulations also dictate the way contractors can seek compensation when unanticipated issues arise. Often, the successful completion of, and payment for, a federal contract depends on the contractor’s knowledge of these rules and regulations.
Our Government Contracting Group’s extensive and varied experience allows us to spot these potential issues before they turn into greater problems. This proactive approach serves our clients well and helps them navigate any unanticipated performance issues more efficiently, often avoiding larger disputes or claims. However, when unavoidable disputes arise, our knowledgeable team is there to help clients maximize their likelihood of success, as well as the amount of their recovery.
Whether through REAs, Claims, or further litigation, we help our clients get the compensation they seek when dealing with:
- Differing site conditions
- Defective specifications
- Changes – including constructive changes and cardinal changes
- Suspensions of work
- Delays
- Terminations for convenience
