The White House on January 7, 2026, issued an executive order (EO) titled "Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting," which aims to accelerate defense procurement and enhance the defense industrial base by shifting contractor priorities from investor returns to production and performance, including by limiting stock buybacks, dividends and executive compensation. A recent Holland & Knight alert breaks down the EO, as well as potential implications for industry.
Join several of the Holland & Knight authors – Partners Amy Fuentes, Christian Nagel and Mike Wakefield – alongside 47G for a live discussion on this topic, including the opportunity to ask your questions.
