Aerospace & Defense

The aerospace and defense (A&D) sector is rapidly evolving, driven by innovation, capital, and rising global security priorities. Goodwin’s Aerospace & Defense practice helps companies, investors, and entrepreneurs navigate this complex environment with legal strategies aligned with growth, compliance, and innovation.

We combine deep experience in private equity, venture capital, M&A, intellectual property counseling, investigations and litigation, and national security regulatory matters with a strong track record advising dual-use technology companies, growth-stage businesses, and their financial sponsors. Our team supports clients across the A&D ecosystem, from manufacturers of mission-critical components to space tech ventures and defense-focused funds.

Backed by Goodwin’s strength at the intersection of capital and innovation, we understand the unique demands of operating in this space. Whether advising on Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and foreign investment reviews, structuring complex cross-border transactions, navigating disputes with competitors, or supporting procurement and government contracting strategies, we help clients move decisively in a dynamic and high-stakes market.
