The Role of Legal Advisory in a Transforming Defence Industry

The defence sector is evolving rapidly. Traditional players are now joined by new entrants, including tech companies and dual-use startups that bring innovation, agility, and new capabilities to the industry.

Hannes Snellman plays a crucial role in this evolving ecosystem by helping these “new defence” companies navigate the complex regulatory landscape, structure their operations, and establish the legal foundations necessary for scaling and succeeding in this highly regulated environment. As advisors, we can help to bridge the legal expectations and business models of different defence sector stakeholders.

Our team offers expert legal and strategic advice across all defence industry matters. We have particular experience in regulatory processes related to foreign direct investment, dual-use products, and cyber-security and data protection issues. This ensures that our clients are well-prepared to meet the stringent requirements of the defence sector.

In collaboration with partners like the Finnish Venture Capital Association and our international legal network, we facilitate connections between investors, startups, and public sector actors. This collaboration creates the understanding needed for developing the next generation of defence capabilities. Whether the goal is to scale within Finland or expand into international markets like the U.S., our team of experts is available to provide guidance.
