Sophisticated counsel at the intersection of private sector innovation and government and defense opportunities

Private sector innovations can help governments solve big problems and better serve citizens.

Our Defense Innovation & Govtech team works closely with technology companies to address the needs of defense innovators and contractors, systems integrators, and government users and beneficiaries.

We help cutting edge innovators and technology companies navigate and balance the benefits and constraints of government and funding through all stages of their growth and innovation lifecycle­—factoring critical legal areas such as government contracts, intellectual property and national security. We counsel clients on hiring and retention considerations for key talent, as well as legal and business considerations for their go-to-market strategy for government purchasers.

For dual-use and public sector-focused clients, we pair full-service capabilities spanning corporate, litigation and intellectual property with experienced government and regulatory counsel to advise on legal and regulatory issues related to government grants and public sector customers.
