Bird & Bird team write UK chapter of Defence & Security Procurement
Bird & Bird's Defence & Security team have written the 2018 UK chapter for 'Defence & Security Procurement: Getting the deal through'.
This annual publication provides expert analysis of how government procurement works in this highly regulated sector and is an ideal tool for in-house counsel and commercial practitioners.
The team - Elizabeth Reid, Simon Phippard, Brian Mulier, Michael Stocks and Lucy England - have focused on a number of trends in the sector including UAS', the defence procurement law framework (including Single Source Contract Regulations), ownership rights to the Intellectual Property created during the contract and the approach taken to allocating risk by the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD), providing valuable insights into important aspects of how British government defence procurement actually works in practice.
