Fluet is pleased to announce the addition of four accomplished professionals to the firm, continuing strategic growth across key practices, including Government Contracts and International Trade.
The new team members—Counsel Isaac Natter, Counsel David Newsome, Jr., Senior Policy Advisor Greg Gatjanis, and Associate Marlee Egierski—bring decades of combined government and military service, including roles at the Department of Defense, Department of the Treasury, Department of Commerce, Central Intelligence Agency, and the White House National Security Council.
“These additions reflect Fluet’s commitment to providing clients with elite, mission-focused representation grounded in real-world government experience,” says Tom Craig, Managing Partner. “Isaac, David, Marlee, and Greg each bring invaluable perspectives from their service to our nation—whether leading acquisition law at the Pentagon, managing complex contracts in operational theaters, defending agencies in bid protests, or shaping sanctions policy at the highest levels. Their arrival strengthens our ability to guide clients through the increasingly complex intersection of government contracting, national security, and international trade.”
