Construction Law
I’ve represented owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers throughout the construction industry for over 15+ years. Seeking legal expertise for dredging claims? Schedule a free 15-minute consultation, today!
I’ve assisted dredging contractors and subcontractors of all sizes throughout the various complex legal requirements surrounding the government contract claims process.
For instance, I’ve helped dredging stakeholders navigate the complex territory of differing site conditions in an open water channel dredging operation, leading to core changes and constructive changes to the contract. In a recent Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals case, the Board found entitlement to my client for an array of different claims, which ultimately led to the negotiation of a quantum settlement of more than double the original contract price.
From the more typical claims of unusually severe weather and differing dredge materials to more particularized instances of persistent channel interruptions, the unforeseen cost increases of beneficial use, and other unique scenarios, my experience “in the trenches” representing dredge operators has run the gamut.
I have long represented government contractors – and their subcontractors – in contract claims at both the REA stage, as well as appeals before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals and the United States Court of Federal Claims. The government contracting industry is unique, and comes with its own set of contracting nuances.
Whether you are a dredging contractor or other construction contractor, subcontractor, or vendor doing business with the federal government, my legal guidance and advocacy can be key to achieving a favorable outcome of your payment disputes.
