On August 7, 2025, attorneys and paralegals from mctlaw took part in a training hosted by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims Bar Association. The session focused on how lawyers can request that the government pay their clients’ legal fees after winning certain types of cases in the Court of Federal Claims.

This kind of reimbursement is allowed under special laws known as “fee-shifting statutes.” The training helped legal teams learn the best way to apply for those fees so their clients don’t have to carry the full cost of taking legal action.
