Defence & Security

Defence and security projects involve some of the most sophisticated procurement, regulatory and compliance requirements in today's economy. Governments, defence contractors, manufacturers and technology providers operate within highly specialised legal frameworks governing public procurement, export controls, classified information, dual-use goods and national security considerations.

We advise defence contractors, manufacturers, technology providers, investors and public-sector entities on a broad range of legal and regulatory matters affecting the sector. Drawing on expertise across public procurement, regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, corporate transactions, international trade and government contracting, we provide integrated support throughout the lifecycle of defence and security projects.

The practice has extensive experience in defence procurement procedures, including strategic acquisitions involving military equipment, aerospace technologies, naval systems, communications infrastructure and defence-related services. We regularly advise domestic and international participants in public tenders, contract negotiations, project implementation and regulatory compliance matters.

Our experience also covers the regulation of defence products and dual-use items, export controls, customs and logistics requirements, classified information procedures and national security compliance. We assist clients in navigating domestic, European Union and international regulatory frameworks governing the manufacture, transfer, export and operation of sensitive technologies and equipment.

The team regularly represents clients in disputes arising from defence and security projects, including procurement challenges, contractual disputes, international arbitration and enforcement proceedings. Our experience spans both public-sector and commercial matters, enabling us to address the legal and operational risks associated with strategically sensitive projects.
