As a longstanding member of the Brussels ecosystem, we have insights into the direction of European defence and security debate and likely future policy and legislative developments.
Our expertise is extensive. It includes an in-depth understanding of the export control, customs and sanctions considerations relevant to both conventional military and dual-use items, software and technologies.
On the transactional side, we have a track record of achieving the successful closing of marquee projects and investments, strategic M&A, joint ventures and other collaborations, ensuring expert coverage of corporate, antitrust/merger control, State aid, national security and procurement aspects and obtaining relevant regulatory clearances.
We can also help negotiate and structure manufacturing and supply, outsourcing, technology-rich and other commercial agreements typically used in the sector, handle product compliance and liability issues and advise on how to ensure that international supply chains are resilient and compliant with the relevant rules.
Our advice is informed by our knowledge of the sector impacts of regulatory frameworks governing digital technologies, AI and machine learning. If disputes or investigations arise, our team can handle these efficiently, with minimum business disruption.
We have triple ISO certification as an Integrated Management System (ISO 9001, ISO 22301 and ISO 27001), demonstrating compliance with the highest standards of cybersecurity, business continuity and quality management.
