Software Defined Defense 
Modern defence platforms are software-first systems. They rely on multi-layer deployments, embedded modules, AI components, sensitive data flows and cross-border supply chains. We help defence integrators and technology suppliers navigate the legal and regulatory challenges that follow.  We translate technical architectures into clear legal structures that enable secure, compliant and interoperable defence solutions.
