Overview
Clients look to us to help navigate the unique complexities involved in the defence sector, including financing and procurement processes, project development; regulatory compliance; data security and national security considerations and export control. Our experience working with both private sector players and governments gives us robust perspective: we guide private sector clients across every dimension of their public sector dealings; and we are trusted by governments to work with them on complex defence transactions and related mandates.
Our approach brings together the right commercial, regulatory and industry counsel from across our areas of practice to best advise on the matter at hand, ensuring that our clients in the defence, aerospace, technology, and security ecosystem are covered on all sides.
