Maximizing Opportunities in the EU Defense, Security and Aerospace Markets

The European defense, security, and aerospace sectors are undergoing a period of unprecedented growth. Driven by significant increases in defense spending across EU Member States and evolving geopolitical priorities, new opportunities are emerging for businesses seeking to participate in this rapidly expanding market.

At the same time, operating in this sector requires navigating a complex legal and regulatory landscape. Companies must address a range of considerations that can have a direct impact on market access, growth strategies, and commercial success—from government procurement and contracting requirements to foreign investment screening, export controls, cybersecurity obligations, sovereignty considerations, and strategic transactions.

Join our multidisciplinary team of EU and U.S. legal professionals for a practical discussion focused on helping companies successfully pursue opportunities in the EU defense, security, and aerospace markets. Rather than exploring the legal framework in theory, we will provide actionable guidance and real-world insights that can be applied directly to business operations and strategic decision-making.

During the webinar, we will discuss:

• The evolving EU defense and security landscape and the opportunities created by increased public spending
• Key features of the EU regulatory environment for defense, security, and aerospace businesses
• Navigating foreign investment screening and other market access considerations
• Managing compliance with export control and sanctions regimes
• Addressing privacy, cybersecurity, and AI-related requirements with a focus on EU tech sovereignty considerations
• Structuring M&A transactions, joint ventures, and other strategic commercial arrangements in a highly regulated sector
• Practical approaches to managing legal and regulatory risks while supporting business growth

Drawing on decades of combined experience (click here for more information), our EU and U.S. team will share practical perspectives on the issues that matter most to U.S. companies operating in this dynamic and highly scrutinized environment.

We look forward welcoming you!
