The federal procurement system is structured with the government's interests in mind. A contractor who walks into a dispute without experienced counsel walks in at a serious disadvantage.

Government Contracts Litigation Attorney: FAQ

How long do I have to file a GAO bid protest?
Most GAO bid protests must be filed within 10 calendar days of the date you knew or should have known the basis for your protest. This is among the tightest deadlines in federal law and cannot be extended. Contact a bid protest attorney immediately — do not wait.
What is a termination for default and can it be reversed?
A termination for default is one of the most serious adverse actions a contracting officer can issue. Many are legally flawed and can be converted to terminations for convenience — which eliminates the negative past performance impact. Act immediately to preserve your appeal rights.
How long do I have to appeal a Contracting Officer's Final Decision?
An appeal from a COFD must be filed at the appropriate Board of Contract Appeals within 90 days, or at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims within 12 months. Both deadlines are jurisdictional — courts have no authority to accept a late filing regardless of circumstances.
Can small businesses afford a government contracts litigation attorney?
Yes. Granfield Legal Services specifically serves small businesses, 8(a) contractors, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned companies who need experienced government contracts litigation representation without the overhead of a large firm.
