Dan Ward

Founding Partner, Ward & Berry PLLC

Along with Ryan Berry, Daniel Ward is one of the founding members of Ward & Berry. While Dan is active in all of the firm’s practice areas, his focus is on the firm’s litigation and general counsel practices.

Dan represents government contractors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profit organizations, individuals and other companies in a wide variety of matters. Dan’s practice has historically been litigation-based, but has evolved with his clients’ needs to include a variety of other matters, including: representing clients in government investigations and inquiries, contract negotiations, pre-publication review, and conducting internal investigations.

Dan’s litigation practice focuses on the litigation (or arbitration) of prime/sub disputes, trade secret litigation, and other business torts. Dan has litigated or arbitrated matters nationwide, including in state and federal courts in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, New York, Georgia, California, and Oregon.

In addition to his litigation practice, Dan provides legal and business advice and counseling on a variety of corporate matters including mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and formation, best practices, and executive compensation. Dan is a firm believer in learning everything he can about his clients’ businesses. It is only through a clear understanding of a client’s business goals and obstacles that a lawyer can give effective advice and counsel on that client’s legal issues.
