Law that protects commercial objectives in the Defence & Aviation sector.
Advisory on export control, licensing, procurement, confidentiality and public contracts for defence, aviation and advanced technology projects. Export-control regimes and permits, facility security clearances, offset obligations and civil aviation rules shape both the timeline and the contract structure of projects.
The applicable legal framework in the Defence & Aviation sector
Defence and aviation projects carry high confidentiality, relations with public authorities, export control, technology transfer and long-term supply obligations. The contract architecture must be aligned with the technical reality of the project.
We assess offset, public procurement, licensing, technology transfer, confidentiality, IP, the subcontractor chain and international export control topics together. We manage matters with a balance of sensitivity, compliance and commercial objectives.
