Procurement projects in the aerospace and defense sector generally involve a number of complicating factors, such as complex joint venture and other consortia arrangements, rigorous procurement procedures, extensive contract negotiations with the contracting authority involving complex and highly specific contract terms and conditions, as well as comprehensive regulatory requirements. Achieving successful outcomes in tendering procedures, contract negotiations and the final execution of the contract requires well-founded legal expertise and experience, a clear strategic approach and strong connections within the A&D sector.
