The firm represented a general contractor against the Federal Government related to a federal construction project for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The government directed extra work for which it refused to pay and delayed and suspended the work of the general contractor.
The firm filed a claim with the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals.
The parties were scheduled to mediate in person in an attempt to resolve the claim, but were delayed due to COVID-19. The firm was able to successfully engage the VA’s counsel in direct settlement discussions which resulted in a stipulated judgment against the government in favor of the general contractor on its claim.
Counsel: Jason R. Thornton
