Aerospace and Defense

Warner Aerospace and Defense attorneys are trusted by leaders in this sector to operationalize their strategies, connect to potential partners for ventures, maximize their opportunities and problem-solve. The team can comprehensively handle most complex global and national issues from national policy, federal budget opportunities, strategic partnership support as well as merger and acquisition support to aid our clients. An agile, more responsive and effective hands-on alternative to the traditional Washington, DC firms, count on a real-world Warner team who will care about – and know exactly how to advance – your business and goals.

Warner’s Values – Service, Loyalty, Integrity and Tradition – Align With the Military’s Values, and We Put Them Into Practice Every Day

We come with high-credibility credentials, with both a retired two-star general and a former U.S. Air Force captain leading our team. As in the military, we work as a unit, making sure the right people are doing the right things at the right time. Perhaps most important, Warner offers clients valuable legal strategy that is protected by attorney client privilege – a critical component that a consulting firm touting former military advisors on its roster simply cannot replicate. In sum, we are committed to being good stewards of our clients’ names and reputations, and to supporting this industry that is so important to us, and to our country.
