Offerings

One Vendor. End-to-End.

Legal representation plus execution—fewer handoffs, tighter sequencing, clearer accountability.

Privilege by Design

We structure workstreams and work product handling to protect privilege where it applies.

DCSA + IC Alignment

FOCI/NISP posture aligned to IC-facing (SCI/SAP) customer constraints—less rework post-close.

Mitigation You Can Operate

GSC (Government Security Committee) cadence, control ownership, and evidence baselines—built for review, not paper compliance.

Parallel-Path Execution

FOCI, CFIUS, telecom/customer planning sequenced in parallel to protect deal velocity.

Ready for Access

Cleared principals positioned to support access requirements as programs allow.

Experience

Government • Big Law • In-House

Operator-informed advice that balances regulatory defensibility with commercial execution.

Defense/Intel Tech Native

AI/ML, blockchain/digital assets, biotech, IoT, quantum, space/satellite, robotics—built for dual-use realities.

Classified Contracts + IP Protection

DD-254s, security clauses, data rights, OTAs, teaming/JVs—negotiated to protect your IP and match clearance reality.

Agreements That Ship

Licensing, XaaS, RFX strategy, R&D, and JV/teaming structures aligned to DoD/IC posture.

What We Do

Two Tracks. One Outcome: Approval Without Paralysis.

Engage us for legal representation, strategic consulting, or both. We scope to deal timing, clearance posture, and program reality.

Legal Representation

FOCI, CFIUS, classified contract negotiation and IP protection—structured to protect privilege and drive decisions.

Strategic Consulting

Diligence, readiness, remediation, and operating cadence—built to stand up in DCSA and IC-facing reviews.

Track 2

Execution You Can Defend.

We build the evidence, cadence, and control ownership reviewers expect to see—without bloated "compliance theater."

Privilege architecture: Where appropriate, we structure implementation workstreams under counsel's direction. Operational deliverables may be non-privileged. We define boundaries, work product handling, and communications protocols at kickoff.

What We Deliver

Implementation
Practical work products that map to security reviews, deal timing, and program constraints.

Diligence + Timeline Model

Pre-LOI triage, confirmatory diligence, critical-path sequencing.

DCSA Review Readiness

Gap analysis, remediation plan, evidence package build-out, mock review.

IC-Facing Audit Prep

Controls and documentation aligned to IC-facing expectations where applicable (program-dependent).

Security Program Build

NISPOM operations, Insider Threat, TCPs, training, evidence standards.

Cyber Governance (CMMC/NIST)

SSP/POA&M oversight, control ownership, audit-aligned artifacts (no technical audits).

Post-Close Integration

Unify policies, reporting lines, governance, and evidence baselines after close.

FOCI + IC

FOCI, Clearances, and IC Reality—Aligned.

DCSA/NISP is only part of the story. IC-facing programs (SCI/SAP) add customer-specific access and operational constraints. We plan for both.

FOCI Mitigation (DCSA/NISP)

Choose the right instrument, preserve commercial objectives, and operationalize governance.

IC-Facing Programs (SCI/SAP)

Access posture and documentation discipline tied to your customers and programs (read-ins are program-dependent).

Security note: Do not transmit classified information (CNSI) or CUI through this website or standard email. Secure channels are established after engagement and scoping.
Principals

Reputation-Driven, Principal-Led.

National security work runs on credibility. Clients speak with a principal early, and principals stay involved through close.

Principal Access

Talk to a principal on the first call. Execution is led by senior practitioners, not a rotating bench.

Credentials on Request

Principal credentials and references provided through controlled intake for operational security.

Operational security: If you prefer a low-profile posture, credentials and references can be shared after initial screening.
Transactions

The 5-Step National Security Deal Path

Repeatable sequencing that keeps approvals, governance, and execution moving in parallel.

Step 1

Triage

Identify triggers, posture, and likely mitigation path before LOI hardens.

Step 2

Model

Build the critical path for filings, governance actions, and readiness.

Step 3

Run Parallel

FOCI, CFIUS, telecom, customer planning—sequenced for speed.

Step 4

Design Mitigation

Draft instruments and define board/GSC controls that can be operated.

Step 5

Operate

Evidence baselines, training, cadence, and sustained compliance readiness.

We will confirm the decision you need to make, the regulatory path, the privilege structure, and the fastest viable sequence.

Secure intake: If you need to share sensitive (but unclassified) materials, indicate this in your message and we will establish a secure channel. Do not send CNSI or CUI through this form.
