The US-UK defence partnership is being called upon to renew itself as geopolitical tension rises in Europe and the Asia-Pacific and the demands of modern conflicts change.

That was the takeaway when BritishAmerican Business convened experts at our London offices to discuss how the two countries can use the investment capacities of their companies to strengthen the industrial base, innovate at speed on land, air and sea, and develop cutting-edge capabilities across new technological frontiers.

The HSF Kramer Defence and Security team advises contractors, investors and government stakeholders across the UK, US, Europe, Asia and Australia on procurement, regulatory, transactional and disputes matters. Combining sector expertise with a 2,700-lawyer global platform, we support established defence and aerospace businesses, emerging defence technology companies and the investors helping to shape the future of the sector.

Investing In Infrastructure: When Public Policy Meets Private Capital

Governments across the UK and Europe have announced ambitious infrastructure programmes they cannot fund alone, creating significant opportunities for private capital. As public authorities shift from subsidy-based models to regulatory reform, investors must navigate an increasingly complex web of concurrent regulatory regimes - from merger control and national security screening to data protection and PFI handback obligations - to successfully deploy capital in this evolving landscape.

OFAC Expands Cuba Sanctions And Tightens Financial And Travel Restrictions

The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has implemented sweeping changes to Cuba sanctions, establishing a new regulatory framework that targets foreign persons and financial institutions while significantly restricting previously authorized activities.
