Law360 Publishes Column by Teddie Arnold on Recent Contract Disputes Decisions

Law360 featured an article authored by Government Contracts partner Teddie Arnold, “Contract Disputes Recap: Check Your Signatures, Cites, Sums.” The piece, published on September 15, 2026, is part of a monthly Seyfarth column covering litigation under the Contract Disputes Act.

The article examines three recent Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals decisions involving contracting officer final decisions, nonexistent case citations, and the sum certain requirement for delay claims. Arnold highlights practical lessons for contractors, including preserving objections in writing, independently verifying legal citations, and supporting claims with clear, traceable calculations.

He emphasized the importance of accuracy when citing legal authority:

"Contractors need to verify every citation. The board is checking, it is publishing the results, and Huffman gives it a framework for escalating sanctions."
