Ward & Berry is a mission-driven boutique firm built to provide exceptional representation to government contractors. The firm serves clients at the intersection of law, government, and national security. It particularly excels in bid protests, investigations, and high-stakes disputes before the Court of Federal Claims, the Boards of Contract Appeals, and federal district courts. WB is deeply experienced in defense industrial base compliance matters, including navigating FOCI issues and export controls, making it a go-to counsel for companies engaging with the Department of War, State, or Intelligence Community. Many WB attorneys hold active security clearances. The firm has expanded rapidly into adjacent and complementary areas. This includes representing national security startups and venture-backed tech companies entering the federal space, supporting strategic M&A and investment transactions, designing and maturing corporate compliance programs, negotiating complex technology transactions, and providing outside general counsel support for scaling federal contractors. The firm’s growth has also included increased demand for its internal investigations and crisis response counsel.
Clients and peers alike associate WB with high-trust relationships, excellent legal advice, and efficient staffing models. WB is also known for a values-forward culture (“The WB Way”) emphasizing a true team mindset, high-integrity services, and zero ego.
