security, defence and space

National defence, the production and procurement of the necessary armaments, and the protection of critical infrastructure are becoming increasingly important due to global political developments. Redeker Sellner Dahs advises companies and public institutions in the fields of security, defence, and space along the entire production and value chain – including in security‑​related administrative and court proceedings. These include, among others

• the acquisition, development under planning and licensing law, and the construction of production and test sites;
• support in the design of procurement procedures and the conclusion of civil and public law contracts, in particular taking into account the special procurement and budgetary regulations for defence and security;
• support in the drafting of approval notices and planning approval decisions, support in public participation and in the coordination of public interest groups;
• providing dispute resolution advice on the implementation of contracts;
• advice and representation in the areas of war weapons, investment, state aid, and export control.

The aim of our advice is always to activate efficiency gains and acceleration potential through legal structuring and coordinating process management so that the considerable procurement requirements can be met promptly. We have many years of specific industry knowledge in the area of defence and space.

Defence and space is characterized by the intertwining of numerous areas of law, from international and European law to public procurement law, complex public law regulation and civil law. Thanks to our European and public law advice – also to the German Federal Government – we are one of the few law firms in the field of defence and space with experience‑​based know how also at regulatory and European level. Redeker Sellner Dahs is always in a position to put together advisory teams that can cover all necessary aspects with the required depth of penetration but also in a coordinated manner. You will always have a single point of contact.

Together with our partner law firms in the United Kingdom, the USA, and France, we also support our clients in all matters with cross‑​border implications.
