Can’t win for losing?

A Cordatis team consisting of Daniel Strouse and Josh Schnell recently persuaded the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to leave their client’s contract in place despite an unfavorable decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Specifically, the Federal Circuit reversed an earlier decision in which the Court of Federal Claims disqualified an earlier awardee based on organizational conflicts of interest. Nevertheless, the Court of Federal of Claims agreed that the mandate rule allowed our client to keep the contract it won as a result of the earlier protest. Click here to read the decision.
