Mr. Cynkar was brought in at the eleventh hour as part of a new legal team to help defend a 600-employee government contractor from accusations that it had defrauded the government in its GSA Schedule Contract. With over $100 million claimed in damages, and the threat of debarment from government contracting if found guilty, this was a bet-the-company case.
Withdrawing a proposed settlement offer, the new legal team successfully defended the defendants in a jury trial. The Fourth Circuit upheld the result.
