About Our Aerospace and Defense Team
Sheppard Mullin serves clients in the aerospace and defense industry, including major defense contractors and their suppliers, airlines, airports and related service providers. Our lawyers have deep sector knowledge and are experienced counselors of regulatory, transactional, and complex multijurisdictional litigation matters. Throughout the world, aerospace and defense companies face the same challenges: shrinking defense budgets, highly specialized transaction and financing needs, increasingly complex procurement systems and regulations, rapid global expansion, and contentious private and government disputes and investigations.
Our clients include established aerospace and defense companies, growing middle market businesses, emerging companies, new ventures, and investment banks and private equity firms active in the industry. Our clients demand experienced, comprehensive, and cost-effective support from lawyers who know their business. Our industry focus enables us to fully understand your business and the challenges you face and to provide advice consistent with achieving your business goals. Our lawyers are familiar with the procurement process and budgets on complex defense programs, the financing needs and structures of the industry, and the enforcement priorities of regulators around the world. Whether addressing environmental concerns, anti-corruption measures or export controls, our team works with clients to help them maintain market share and manage relationships with regulators, and other industry bodies.
Our interdisciplinary practice brings together lawyers with the corporate, commercial, and regulatory experience to assist our clients in capitalizing on opportunities and avoiding pitfalls.
We understand the unique business and legal challenges faced by clients in the aerospace and defense industry and that is why clients turn to us when a thorough appreciation of the industry is required to come to grips with issues quickly and efficiently to deliver valuable advice in real time.
