Ward & Berry PLLC is a Washington, D.C. law firm with deep roots representing government contractors and high technology companies of all sizes. We meet our clients’ legal needs in a practical and personalized manner. We maintain robust practices in bid protests, claims, requests for equitable adjustment (REA), labor and employment, small business set-asides, regulatory, compliance, arbitration, mediation, suspension and debarment, outside general counsel, congressional investigations, internal investigations, security clearance, NISPOM, state and federal litigation, and corporate transactions. In both our advisory and litigation roles, Ward & Berry’s clients entrust us with their most critical and sensitive legal matters, exciting growth opportunities, and serious corporate threats. We are creative and tenacious problem solvers. We have extensive connections and experience where our clients need it the most: at the intersection of government and technology. We know the players, the workings of government, law, and business throughout the federal government – particularly within the Defense Industrial Base and the Intelligence Community. We bring that know-how, experience, and our personal relationships to bear in solving our clients’ tough problems. At Ward & Berry, we succeed for our clients where others fail. Our lawyers are admitted to practice in courts and before administrative boards throughout the country. We focus on achieving the best possible results efficiently and effectively. Sometimes that means taking a case to trial; when it does, Ward & Berry’s trial lawyers live for the fight. We are regularly referred clients by some of nation’s largest firms and most prominent attorneys. These referrals come from friendships and respect developed in the courtroom – both as co-counsel and as adversaries.
