Meet Karri Palmetier

I bring more than two decades of experience in government contracting and aerospace and defense industries. I started my career as a U.S. Air Force judge advocate where I supported major defense programs, base operational contracting, and international and joint war operations. I gained additional expertise working in a major D.C. law firm on a variety of government contracting matters. I then joined the in-house legal department at United Launch Alliance where I supported multiple issues across the company, including major government and commercial contracts, business system compliance, Freedom of Information Act, subcontract administration and major litigation. Before establishing my own practice, I acted as the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel for Special Aerospace Services, a certified 8(a) woman-owned small business.

My extensive background in working for and with the U.S. Government (Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, the Intelligence Community and NASA) gives me a unique perspective, helping companies understand the underlying policies and rationale for the government position. I have a security clearance and can, therefore, also help with classified contract matters. I bring a wealth of experience in the aerospace industry, especially in the launch industry. I'll use my unique and diverse background to advise your company on all aspects of government contracting to translate and simplify the byzantine laws of the world of government contracts.
