Testimonials
ISD is a small player in a huge minefield of the world’s largest Aerospace and Defense Companies mixed with highly specific and varied U.S. and international regulations, related to the sale and transfer of controlled technologies to international governments. Finding timely, applicable expertise and advice in all of these areas is rare.
Over the past five plus years, your candor, relevant legal and operational experience, personal engagement, ITAR, NIST & FCPA audits and recommendations, and preemptive strategies have been golden. When there is any doubt or question, and there are many, the rejoinder is “check with Christos”. Without question, your services have been invaluable to our success.

I worked with Strategic Aerospace & Defense Advisors over the past 18 months. Their expert level of technical and regulatory compliance in the areas of ITAR, DFAR and FAR, are second to none. More importantly, their ability to communicate complex legal principals to the business, gave myself and our teams, the skills and tools to collaborate with both defense customers and government agencies; it was not uncommon to have a representative of STRADA support us in sales calls to customers.
