Security and Defence

We provide specialized legal support in the defence and security sector. We help clients navigate the unique legal challenges of defence procurement, cross-border supply contracts, and high-tech military projects. 

Our team is experienced in handling sensitive disputes involving state-owned enterprises, international contractors, and governmental bodies. 

Our Capabilities 

We offer a full range of dispute resolution and advisory services for the defence industry: 

• Defence Procurement Disputes: We represent clients in disputes over the alleged breach of state contracts for the supply of defence goods. This includes handling cases in both Ukrainian courts and international arbitrations. 

• International Defence Arbitration: We act both as counsel and as experts in complex arbitration proceedings conducted under various institutional rules, including the LCIA, ICC, ICAC at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Swiss Rules of the Swiss Arbitration Centre. These disputes often involve complex transactions in the defence sector, including the supply and delivery of specialized military equipment.  

• High-Tech & Modernization Projects: We manage disputes arising from complex technical contracts, such as the modernization of military aircraft for the Armed Forces. 

• Contractual Compliance & Advisory: We draft and negotiate state defence contracts, advise on the performance of obligations under such contracts, and help mitigate risks related to supply chain disruptions or regulatory changes. 

• Reputation & Defamation Defence: We provide legal counsel on defamation claims and communication strategies when disputes in the defence sector impact a company’s public standing. 

• Cross-Border Supply Issues: We handle multi-jurisdictional claims against international contractors and suppliers, ensuring that defence interests are protected across different legal systems.
