No matter what the client’s needs were – from an equitable

csw Law Firm offered the litigation experience to achieve a
successful outcome.

For more than 30 years, Curtis Wolfswinkel Law Firm has been one of the most successful government contract practices in the country.  Dispute resolution of government contract controversies depends on specialized forums and a particularized body of law; yet success depends on litigation strategies used in commercial litigation.  In other words, winning government contracts litigation should involve an experienced blend of knowledge and general litigation expertise.  Our firm is an expert in both skills. 

Our representations of government contractors have involved virtually all the substantive issues arising out of doing business with governments.  Such issues come into play both in lawsuits involving government agencies directly and in disputes between commercial parties, such as subcontractors and prime contractors, in which the relationship derives from a government contract and its use of “flow-down” provisions.  We have substantial expertise in government accounting, cost allow ability, defective pricing, claims identification and analysis, intellectual property protection, bid protests, debarment and suspension, contract terminations, and contract changes.  Our experience also covers all key industry sectors – aerospace and defense, electronics, IT, communications, technical services, financial, construction, transportation, health care and the life sciences fields.  We have tried cases in all of the major government contract forums.
