Defence

We work with leading defence companies, government bodies and regulators on a wide range of legal services that are unique to the sector. Our global defence sector group covers all key markets around the world. We have a complete understanding of the industry’s challenges and opportunities, and combine detailed knowledge of the sector with deep technical skills in areas such as M&A, regulatory and antitrust, IP, cyber and AI.

Defence companies face change driven by new technologies, evolving business models, cyber threats, export controls, geopolitical disruptions, and significant regulatory and public/ESG scrutiny. 

We guide and support governments and private sector defence clients through their complex transformations by adeptly navigating all legal and commercial challenges that arise, including transactional, regulatory, investigation and litigation work.  

The areas we cover include, among others, M&A, including combinations and divestments, FDI, sanctions, antitrust, cyber, IP/AI, tech collaboration and corporate ventures, ESG, dispute resolution, shareholder and NGO activism, and risk and crisis management. We have great experience in navigating the (cross-border) distribution of sensitive technology in compliance with international regulations.

We have a long history of successful delivery within this specialised domain. Working with us is a strategic alliance that promises not only legal acumen but a profound understanding of the defence sector's complexities.
