Defence

We can help you succeed in obtaining special permits and licences to export or import military and dual-use goods. Drawing on years of experience, our lawyers will support you in ensuring compliance with national security requirements and navigating the pathway towards your goals.

Our team are trusted advisors to defence sector companies participating in tenders both in the public and the private sector. We assist our clients throughout the entire bidding process – from reviewing tender documentation and obtaining rights to access classified data, to negotiating the contract and its implementation. We also provide strategic and procedural advice to public buyers on structuring defence and security procurement processes, planning and conducting procurements and reviewing proposals and bids.

We offer 360-degree support to defence industry businesses and public sector entities. Our IP experts assist sector players facing issues related to protecting their intellectual property when selling equipment. Sorainen’s market-leading competition lawyers advise clients on competition and antitrust issues related to major defence and security acquisitions. Our team also frequently supports defence sector clients on tax-related questions – in particular, when foreign companies need to establish (or assess) the tax implications of a local presence.
