Our National Security Practice Group</b></p><p></p><p><br>
Morrison Foerster&rsquo;s National Security practice provides strategic advice and counseling to clients on a broad range of regulatory, compliance, investigatory, and enforcement matters pertaining to national security. The government&rsquo;s enforcement and regulatory efforts in this area continue to expand and overlap, and thus navigating the national security landscape increasingly requires expertise across multiple disciplines.</p><p></p><p><br>
The practice includes over 50 National Security lawyers, including former senior officials from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of the Treasury, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of State, National Security Council, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), as well as former federal and state prosecutors from across the country.</p><p></p><p><br>
