National Security Law & Policy

National security law in the government contracting context encompasses a broad and increasingly dynamic set of legal requirements — from personnel and facility security obligations under the NISPOM, to export control requirements under ITAR and EAR, to the expanding set of supply chain security requirements in federal acquisition regulation.

Berry & Partners advises government contractors at the intersection of national security policy and federal contracting law. Our attorneys have backgrounds that include direct experience with the Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and the classified program environment — enabling us to advise on the legal dimensions of national security requirements with an understanding of their policy context.

We counsel clients on security requirements in classified program contracts, agency security agreements and oversight relationships, national security-related supply chain requirements (including Section 889 of the NDAA), and the legal implications of national security policy developments for government contractors.
