Defence and security

Geopolitical uncertainty, closer defence cooperation across Europe and NATO, growing investment and rapid technological advances are reshaping the defence, security and dual-use sectors. At the same time, organizations face heightened regulatory scrutiny and complex requirements relating to foreign investment, export controls and supply chains.

As defence converges with AI, cybersecurity, space and satellite systems, and autonomous technologies, legal, regulatory and commercial challenges are increasingly interconnected. Navigating these challenges calls for advisers who combine deep sector knowledge with multidisciplinary legal expertise and a clear understanding of the commercial landscape.
