With drones and satellites being more commonly used in a
range of industries, businesses are looking to lawyers in Iberia to
help create an appropriate legal framework
Demand from clients in Spain and Portugal for advice on issues
relating to space law and drone use is growing as businesses
supplying the space and aeronautics industries – as well as
industries looking to utilise drones to further their commercial
interests – seek clarification and legal certainty.
The rapid development of such technology, such as drones and the
greater use of satellites – in addition to advancements in
driverless cars, for example – is severely testing lawyers in
Iberia as clients look to address concerns relating to aeronautical
security, airspace utilisation and personal privacy. In addition,
pressure on lawyers is mounting as there is an expectation that
they should be providing input into the development of new legal
frameworks that govern such areas.
