Governance, Risk & Compliance

A well-designed compliance program is not a cost center — it is a business protection strategy. In government contracting, where the False Claims Act, suspension and debarment, and mandatory disclosure obligations create real consequences for compliance failures, the quality of a company's ethics and compliance program can be the difference between a manageable incident and an existential threat.

Berry & Partners designs, assesses, and strengthens compliance programs for government contractors at every stage of growth. We have built compliance programs from the ground up for early-stage contractors and overhauled mature programs at large enterprises following adverse events. Our attorneys have served as Chief Compliance Officers inside operating companies, which means we build programs that work in practice, not just on paper.

We advise on FAR mandatory disclosure obligations, ethics hotline implementation, code of business conduct development, compliance training program design, risk assessment methodologies, and the integration of compliance considerations into business development and contract execution.
