Federal contractors who manufacture or use products containing steel or aluminum should examine their existing contracts, as many may include risk-shifting provisions with opportunities for recovery through price adjustments or relief through schedule adjustments. Federal contractors also should consider re-evaluating pricing of offers and revising standard contract terms. Click here to read the full post on our Government Contracts blog.

As we have previously reported, enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act’s (the CTA) Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting rule (the BOI Rule) remains blocked nationwide as the result of an order from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Smith v. U.S. Dep’t of the Treasury. On January 7, 2025, the Smith court granted a motion for preliminary injunction enjoining enforcement of the CTA against the named plaintiffs and their related entities, while also issuing a nationwide stay of the effective date of the BOI Rule. This occurred before the Supreme Court stayed a separate nationwide injunction of the CTA and stay of the BOI Rule in Texas Top Cop Shop v. McHenry.
