Defense & Security

The security environment in the Nordics and the rest of Europe has changed dramatically in recent years and is increasingly complex today. As a concrete effect of this development, the European Union and its member states are investing significantly in their defense and internal security. In addition, organizations and the public sector are also focusing on enhancing their security of supply, creating a need for strategic legal advice in relation to investments and technological development.

Our long track record of providing bespoke solutions to complex, multi-jurisdictional issues is a key asset for clients engaged in the defense and security industry. By combining multidisciplinary expertise with sector-specific understanding, we ensure a successful delivery of your projects. Our expertise covers public procurement processes by Finnish and Swedish defense and security authorities as well as advising on contractual matters in this context. Together with our market-leading IP and Technology, FDI & Protective Security, and Public Procurement practices, we also advise clients on their contemplated transactions and investments in these sectors.

Our team has significant practical and strategical insight into the broader EU defense and security policy landscape and maintains excellent relationships with government officials in Finland, Sweden and the EU Commission. This enables us to keep our clients one step ahead in terms of legislative and policy developments in this fast-moving environment. Thanks to our extensive global network, our clients can benefit from top-tier advice even when facing legal challenges outside the Finnish and Swedish jurisdictions.
