On the ground experience in industry and a deep-seated interest in the field makes us ideally placed to handle the work relating to aerospace and defence. Our work relates to aircraft structures and system: airframe components; manufacturing and assembly methods; fuel systems; engine technology. We also have considerable experience of defence technology, including of body armour, IED disposal technology, torpedoes and launchers. In addition to drafting and prosecution, we have considerable experience of oppositions in this field, and of freedom to operate, especially during product development.
