Description:

Contractors performing work for federal agencies operate under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and a distinct body of case law governing recovery in contract disputes—often diverging from traditional legal theories. Understanding both commonly asserted and less frequently used claims is critical to protecting your rights and positioning your organization for recovery.

Join PilieroMazza’s Lauren Brier, Caitlin Trevillyan, Jon Neri, and Ryan Boonstra for the next installment in our Contract Claims 101 series. This session will explore key claims doctrines every federal contractor should understand, with discussion spanning both general contracting issues and those frequently arising in construction projects. Topics will include foundational theories—such as constructive changes, delay claims, and scheduling disputes—as well as more nuanced concepts like differing site conditions, equitable estoppel, and bad faith.

Learning objectives include:

• highlight what makes these claims succeed or fail,
• offer guidance for effectively evaluating and presenting them and maximizing recovery.
