How We Support Your Mission

Drafting & Negotiation

We prepare and negotiate the agreements companies rely on throughout the space industry, ensuring each contract reflects your technical needs, commercial goals, and regulatory environment. Our work includes:

  • Launch Services Agreements

  • Hosted Payload and On-Orbit Servicing Agreements

  • Ground Station and Engineering Services Agreements

  • Licensing and technology-transfer arrangements

  • Purchase and sale contracts, supply agreements, and other commercial instruments

Every document is tailored to your mission profile and drafted to support clear, workable relationships.

We help clients protect their core technology while granting only the rights necessary for government programs, research collaborations, or commercial partnerships. Our guidance focuses on:

  • Preserving ownership of proprietary technology

  • Structuring limited licenses that meet contractual or funding requirements

  • Aligning IP terms with long-term business and regulatory considerations

  •  

The result is balanced IP protection that supports growth without jeopardizing control of key assets.

Strong contracts anticipate how parties will work together—and how they will resolve disagreements if they arise. We draft agreements that provide:

  • Clear indemnification and liability allocations

  • Practical dispute-resolution pathways

  • Well-defined responsibilities, deliverables, and decision points

This approach reduces ambiguity, strengthens commercial relationships, and ensures companies have a predictable path forward under stress.

Transactional work in the space sector cannot be separated from its regulatory context. We integrate contract drafting with our knowledge of launch licensing, export controls, and related operational requirements. This allows us to:

  • Identify regulatory issues early

  • Align contractual obligations with licensing and compliance needs

  • Draft agreements that are commercially effective and operationally realistic

Every contract is built not just to close the deal, but to support the company’s broader strategy and long-term growth.
