This practice area covers a range of transactional, regulatory and contentious work pertaining to the space industry. Distinct from our existing coverage of telecoms satellites, this new area broadly includes emerging work relating to space exploration, safety and infrastructure as well as sustainability of the space environment. We will also consider new areas relating to the commercialization of the space sector, such as matters connected to robotics, space mining and microgravity manufacturing.
Matters highlighted here may include M&A, financing and restructuring, launch agreements/licensing, government procurement, regulatory & international trade compliance and intellectual property concerns as well as insurance and risk management advice. Along with space companies, typical clients may include blue-chip corporations, investors, government entities and financial services institutions.
