TERMINATIONS: DESCRIPTION

Attorneys in our government contracts practice counsel clients in government contract termination matters and, when necessary, represent them in termination claims and appeals. In this arena, we have represented large and small contractors in all business sectors, including defense, information technology, and Department of Energy.

Our counseling in this area extends to contractors threatened with contract termination, as well as to those seeking to end an unsuccessful contractual relationship in an equitable manner. Based on the depth and breadth of our experience with terminations, we are able to advise our clients on critical issues that arise in these settings, including procedural requirements, performance cost recovery, subcontractor claims, profit and post-termination costs.

When contractors are terminated, we assist them in the preparation, submission and negotiation of monetary claims to recover their costs and profit. When negotiations fail to resolve such claims, we represent those clients in appeals of those claims before the Boards of Contract Appeals and the Court of Federal Claims. In these appeals, whether challenging an improper termination for default or seeking monetary recovery, we bring to bear our extensive litigation expertise and experience, as well as our comprehensive substantive knowledge of unique termination-related issues.
