Recovering What You’re Owed Without Unnecessary Escalation

When a federal project breaks down, the dispute is rarely about one issue. It’s about accumulated impacts, denied changes, delayed decisions, and a contracting officer who no longer sees the project the way your team does. At that point, recovery depends on facts, positioning, and timing.

Benson Law Office is a federal contract claims and dispute resolution law firm representing contractors nationwide. We help clients prepare and pursue Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REAs), formal claims, and appeals with a disciplined, evidence-driven approach designed to maximize recovery while protecting future contracting opportunities.

When a Project Becomes a Contract Dispute

Federal contract disputes usually evolve, not explode. Early warning signs are often ignored until options narrow.

You should speak with a federal contract dispute attorney if your project involves:

  • Unpaid or underpaid work
  • Rejected or stalled change orders
  • Schedule impacts caused by government action or inaction
  • Threats of termination for default
  • Termination for convenience without fair compensation
  • Liquidated damages assessments

Handled correctly, many disputes resolve before litigation. Handled poorly, they become expensive and disruptive.
