Contract Claims & Requests for Equitable Adjustment

When the government changes scope, fails to disclose superior knowledge, or otherwise disrupts contract performance, contractors are entitled to compensation — but recovering it requires precise legal and factual development. Berry & Partners prepares, negotiates, and litigates contract claims and Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REAs) under the Contract Disputes Act.

We handle claims arising from government-caused delays, differing site conditions, constructive changes, defective specifications, acceleration, and loss of productivity. Our attorneys understand cost accounting, earned value management, and the evidentiary standards required to support a successful claim at the contracting officer and appellate levels.

When negotiation fails, we represent clients before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA), the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA), and the Court of Federal Claims, pursuing every dollar contractors are owed under their agreements with the federal government.
