Defense Tech’s New Contract With Washington

from Forces of Law Hosted by Goodwin Procter

The Trump administration is actively courting startups, cutting red tape, and, in some cases, taking direct equity stakes. Goodwin partner Liza Craig explains what’s new, what pitfalls remain, and why this shift is bigger than any single administration.
