Stop-Work Orders & Termination Support
Receiving a Stop-Work Order (SWO) or a Termination for Convenience notice can be a shock to any organization. Akiri Consulting provides the regulatory expertise and operational guidance needed to navigate these crises. With nearly 50 cases supported in 2025 alone, we specialize in ensuring your Termination Settlement Proposals (TSP) and Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REA) are compliant, complete, and designed to recover the costs you are legally owed.

Operational Guidance & Subcontractor Management
​A stop-work order isn't just a financial issue; it's an operational one. We provide the roadmap for what to do in the first 24 hours to mitigate subcontractor risk and protect your standing with the government.
​
Navigating SWO and Termination Regulations
We provide clear guidance on your rights and obligations under FAR 52.242-15 (Stop-Work) and FAR 52.249 (Termination). We help you determine which costs may reasonably continue during a stop-work period, and which ones must cease immediately, ensuring you don't inadvertently perform unbillable work.
​
Subcontractor REA & TSP Negotiations
​When you are terminated, your subcontractors must be, too. We lead the high-stakes negotiations with your sub-partners to communicate SWOs and termination notices, review their settlement claims, and ensure their requests are reasonable and properly documented before they are rolled up into your prime claim to the government.
