Satellite and Space Systems Practice
Is space the final frontier? We believe it certainly is a dynamic marketplace, with enormous opportunities requiring substantial investment and risk, coupled with unique regulatory, commercial, technological, security and contracting challenges. For these reasons, we maintain a team of top global professionals and satellite partners, who are solely dedicated to this ICT sub-sector’s client unique requirements.
