Defence

We work with companies and investors in the defence sector, providing strategic advice on the political and policy environment and how they can achieve successful outcomes.

Flint supports defence firms of all sizes across multiple technology segments and jurisdictions to navigate complex political, geopolitical, policy and regulatory issues.

We also help investors understand and mitigate defence policy and regulatory impacts which affect their portfolios, including by offering deep expertise of defence policy and related policy areas, providing insights, and conducting company and market due diligence. Our services include policy and regulatory analysis, procurement and programme support, political and geopolitical counsel and M&A guidance.

Our approach

We focus on identifying and translating political, policy and regulatory developments into new business opportunities and commercially valuable advice for effective investor and business management.

Strategic counsel tailored to clients’ needs

Our specialist team works closely with clients to get beneath the surface of the political, policy and regulatory issues they face, and provide authoritative and actionable advice on all aspects of defence policy, programme spending, and procurement.

Insights and intelligence

Our defence experts provide clients with timely and relevant analysis and insight, monitoring relevant political and policy developments across the UK and EU.

Geopolitical advisory

We apply geopolitical analysis and judgement directly to the commercial challenges faced by our clients, helping them to make informed decisions in the international defence sector and beyond. We also support clients extensively on trade policy and export issues relevant to them.

Bespoke analysis of the wider policy and regulatory landscape

Defence policy and defence companies no longer operate in a ‘defence’ silo. We help companies understand how the Government’s wider decisions impact them, by integrating our expertise in – amongst other things – AI, space, trade, export and industrial policy into our advice.
