Partner Damien Specht will serve as one of the conference co-chairs. He is also co-chair of the ABA Public Contract Law Section Mergers and Acquisitions Committee and the ABA Small Business & Other Socioeconomic Programs Committee.
On Thursday, March 14, at 8:30AM, Kevin Mullen, co-chair of the firm’s Government Contracts Group, will moderate the panel “The Impact of War on Claims Litigation: Two Decades of Case Developments.” The panelists will examine how nearly two decades of contingency war operations has impacted the Court of Federal Claims and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals case precedent, and analyze the legal and practical implications of these court and board decisions for future contractor claims.
