Government Contracts attorney Eric Crusius was quoted in a Law360 article discussing significant 2024 court rulings affecting federal contractors. These rulings addressed key issues such as the president's authority over federal procurement and the constitutionality of whistleblower provisions under the False Claims Act (FCA).
