As any federal government contractor will tell you, federal government contract disputes are unique. Unlike other types of contract disputes where you can simply initiate an action in court, claims or disputes arising out of federal government contracts must be dealt with using specific procedures involving administrative review and special courts. 

In this webinar, Obermayer’s government contracts attorneys will walk you through the often-misunderstood process used to litigate government contract claims against the federal government.  We will cover the statutory requirements for claims, and the applicable deadlines to litigate a claim before the Boards of Contract Appeals and the Court of Federal Claims. The presenters will discuss a variety of types of claims, with particular focus on the steps required to preserve claim rights during contract performance.  Contractors will also learn about the most common defenses raised by the government, and hot to overcome those defense. 

Finally, our government contracting team will discuss the means and methods we have used to help reach resolution of claims for our clients, with particular attention paid to alternative dispute resolution procedures with the government. 

This presentation will be appropriate for both new and more experienced government contractors who wish to fully understand the claims process.
