Transnational Expertise

🌍 Expanding internationally is an exciting adventure… until you hit the legal maze. Every country has its own rules, procedures, and pitfalls. One misstep can be costly (in time, money, reputation). 

Most law or consulting firms are experts in only one jurisdiction. But international growth doesn’t stop at borders. 

DefenseWise not only has the expertise (theory) but has also built experience (practice) across the regulatory frameworks of 11 territories: United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Germany.

This means our clients don’t just get legal advice : they gain clarity, speed, and security across multiple markets. 

✅ We understand your regulatory and operational constraints, as well as those of your clients, suppliers and subsidiaries.   

Close to policy-makers 

Markets evolve. Laws change. Regulations tighten.

🏛️ And behind every change… there’s politics.

Most legal and consulting firms explain the rules after they are published. But what if you could anticipate them?

DefenseWise’s strength lies in our proximity to policy-makers and institutions. We don’t just observe from the outside:

⚡ We monitor proposals from their early stages

⚡ We track negotiations as they evolve

⚡ We participate in key public consultations

✅ In a fast-moving world, anticipation always beats reaction.

Years at the heart of the Defence Industry

Theory is easy. Execution is hard. That’s why hands-on industry experience is essential.

Big consulting and law firms make recommendations. Those who have worked inside the industry understand the reality:

⚡Tight deadlines

⚡Operational constraints

⚡ High-stakes decisions

This is our advantage: we have worked in the sector we now advise.

It means we :

⚡Speak your language

⚡Understand your challenges

⚡Deliver operational solutions, not just theoretical advice

✅ This experience allows us to bridge strategy and reality. Practice is what creates impact.

Expertise in related issues 

🔗 Mastering one regulation is good. Understanding all related issues is better.

At DefenseWise, we don’t limit ourselves to export control of defense-related products (authorisations, licences, classification, policies etc.) : we also cover dual-use frameworks, civil armament, and less-lethal solutions.

But our expertise goes even further: we also master the complementary rules that can affect market entry :

⚡ Marking and traceability

⚡ Transport and storage

⚡ Environment & Exemptions

⚡ Due diligence and sustainability

Our clients gain a holistic view: we identify hidden risks and propose operational solutions covering all regulatory aspects, not just export control.

✅ An integrated approach that secures your operations and accelerates your projects.
