Seyfarth’s Teddie Arnold and Zachary Jacobson co-authored an article, “ASBCA ruling may allow subcontractors to recover COVID-19-related claims,” in Westlaw Today on February 22. The Seyfarth attorneys discussed how subcontractors may benefit from an Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals decision denying the government's motion to dismiss claims related to COVID-19.

“The decision offers hope to contractors and subcontractors facing performance challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Regardless of the merits of its actions, the government cannot ignore or dismiss out of hand claims resulting from additional requirements and delays resulting from the government's pandemic response.”
