The dynamic development of the space law sector, the commercialization of outer space, and the growing number of private orbital missions present companies with unprecedented legal and regulatory challenges. Extra-atmospheric activities require not only vision, but above all solid legal foundations that protect capital, intellectual property, and minimize international risks.

 

We offer comprehensive legal advisory services to domestic and international entities participating in the space sector supply chain, satellite operators, research institutes, and technology startups.

 

The scope of our firm's activities includes in particular:

 

• Support in qualifying projects, technologies, and payloads for compliance with international space law and national NewSpace sector regulations;

• Preparation of full documentation required for the registration of objects launched into outer space in national and international registries;

• Representing clients and coordinating actions before international regulatory bodies (including the ITU) in the process of obtaining and reserving radio frequency bands for satellite systems;

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating Launch Services Agreements (LSA) and contracts for the construction of space infrastructure;

• Structuring agreements concerning the transfer of space technologies (ToT), consortium agreements, and intellectual property (IP) protections in multi-party missions;
