Acquisitions & Arms: Up-and-Coming Opportunities in the Defence Sector

Amid intensifying global tension and regional conflicts, this panel will focus on cross border investments in defense and security with an emphasis on sector specifics. As many jurisdictions are racing to bolster defense capabilities, and as technology is ever-evolving, companies active in the space are increasingly looking to expand across borders in an industry that is often traditionally bound by domestic roots, resulting in a sustainable need for legal advisors knowledgeable about the industry. Featuring practitioners from diverse jurisdictions, the discussion will examine particularities of investment in the defense space such as national security review, permitting, defense procurement, export restrictions, classification of information and other aspects of this highly regulated sector
