Robert Metzger Named to Inaugural Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Cyber Lawyers Guide

Rogers Joseph O’Donnell is pleased to announce that Cybersecurity and Privacy practice group chair Robert Metzger has been named to the inaugural Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Cyber Lawyers guide. Lawdragon highlighted Metzger’s work in government contracts, cybersecurity, supply chain and national security matters.

The guide celebrates the legal industry’s leading authorities on privacy, technology transactions, national security, emerging technologies and data security. As with Lawdragon’s other closely-watched lists, editors considered nominations, independent research and peer feedback when selecting honorees. 

Metzger is considered one of the country’s leading cyber lawyers for government contractors. He has represented leading corporations such as Microsoft and five of the top 20 aerospace and defense companies in their highest-profile contracts, disputes, compliance audits and bid protests.

Washington Technology has noted that Metzger is “considered by many to be the father of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification,” which governs how contractors and subcontractors must secure sensitive defense information. Metzger’s work, including his contributions to the Defense Science Board task force and MITRE’s “Deliver Uncompromised” report, has helped to shape government contracting cyber and supply chain security policies.
