Why this matters for your firm

Dollar-cap management fee violations are harder to spot than percentage caps because they require knowing the cap amount and comparing it to the absolute dollar billed, not just checking the rate. Federal leases are a rich source of these overcharges because the cap amounts are fixed at execution and rarely indexed.
