National Security
Protecting national security through legal acumen.
Our team is led by former government officials with deep experience managing sophisticated national security matters. With this insider’s knowledge and perspective, we resolve our clients’ most sensitive concerns.
Clients seek our comprehensive counsel on issues involving counterespionage, counterterrorism, protection of critical infrastructure and cyberspace, and other domestic threats. We work closely with companies on prevention and readiness, intrusion response, and remediation/hardening. We also help clients form contracting and other business relationships with components of the U.S. intelligence community, including establishing subsidiaries to work with U.S. national security departments and agencies and mitigate any Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence.
We advise companies on compliance related to U.S. export control laws and economic and trade sanctions programs, and handle surveillance requests. We have defended and represented clients as targets and witnesses in investigations before the U.S. intelligence community, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
We also advocate for clients’ interests in responding to proposed changes to U.S. legislation potentially affecting U.S. national security issues. We have provided testimony (in open and classified hearings) to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and advised clients who are doing the same.
