Fluet’s Business Litigation Practice has substantial experience representing government contractors and national security clients in commercial litigation ranging from ordinary business disputes to the most complex of cases. In all cases, our litigators focus on achieving the most economical and efficient result for our clients. We understand the costs and burdens of litigation on government contractors and defense organizations, and thanks to keen insights and perspectives on the national security sector, proactively work with clients to achieve the result that is best for business operations and mission success.
Fluet has robust experience in business litigation affecting government contractors and national security clients, including:
- Complex litigation involving government contractors, including multi-district litigation, cases involving complex regulatory and statutory schemes specific to federal contracting, and matters of first impression in the defense sector.
- Employment litigation for government contractors and cleared personnel, including discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation claims, wrongful terminations, whistleblower reprisal, Equal Pay Act claims, alleged violations of wage and hour laws, security clearance-related employment issues, and addressing workplace violence in sensitive contingency environments.
- Government contractor disputes, including breach of contract claims against the federal government, prime/subcontractor disagreements, disputes over corporate ownership and shareholder rights, “business divorces” affecting defense contractors, and corporate mergers and acquisitions in the national security space.
- Business protection claims are critical to government contractors, including business defamation, interference with contractual rights, violations of non-compete and non-solicitation clauses, wrongful appropriation, violation of trade secrets and classified information, trademark issues, and business conspiracy claims affecting national security operations.
