Mike's Experience

• Tolliver Grp., Inc. v. United States, 146 Fed. Cl. 475 (2020). After a contractor successfully defended a False Claims Act case, the government rejected its claim for 80% of its attorneys’ fees under FAR 31.205-47, citing the firm-fixed-price nature of the contract. The Court of Federal Claims held that the contractor was entitled to an equitable adjustment because the government’s failure to provide information was the proximate cause of the FCA suit.
