Supporting military performance, ensuring security of supply, and responding swiftly to rapidly-evolving security threats, technologies and geopolitical pressures are central considerations when advising clients in the defence sector. Delivering pragmatic and practical legal advice to defence and security client companies and organisations demands professionalism, a deep understanding of the defence and security sectors, and the ability to recognise the needs of those involved in addressing both national and international security and geopolitical challenges.

Providing legal services to the defence and security sectors requires a comprehensive understanding of the sector specifics, including national legislation on defence procurement and European Union public procurement regulations. It also requires a nuanced appreciation of the roles played by the various actors within the sector. In practice, this involves a mastery of legal matters such as material procurement, advanced technology development, information security, and cybersecurity.
