our people | our publications |

Our Defence Group has been involved in some very significant and high profile defence transactions in recent years.  Our specialists have the expertise to advise clients on a broad range of issues, from PFI to PPP, to alliancing arrangements, to supply chain contracting, to competition and state aid issues. 

Our specialists have extensive experience of negotiating and drafting the partnering arrangements which are favoured for the delivery of services by defence contractors to the Ministry of Defence.  As a full service law firm we have a comprehensive array of specialists to draw on for input into these contracts – for example, environmental, nuclear, employment, health and safety, pensions, tax, competition, to name but a few.

Examples of our recent experience include:
  • advising Babcock Marine on the £560 million extension of the Warship Support Modernisation Initiative PPP at Devonport (2009)
  • advising QinetiQ Limited on a wide range of site rationalisation projects (project values currently total approximately £150 million)
  • advising Babcock Marine on the £155 million Submarine Engineering Support Contract to provide in-service support to the Royal Navy's entire submarine fleet (2009)
