Defence tech

Shibolet’s Defense Technology Practice provides comprehensive legal counsel to companies, entrepreneurs and investors operating in the defense sector and dual-use technology fields, within one of Israel’s most strategic and dynamic industries.

We regularly advise on the complex regulatory framework applicable to defense technologies and dual-use technologies, including obtaining approvals from Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the Defense Export Control Agency (DECA), as well as addressing cross-border compliance requirements involving the US Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).

In this sector, regulatory considerations are inseparable from commercial strategy. Security classifications, licensing and approval requirements, and restrictions on ownership, control and technology transfer may materially affect transaction structures, timelines and post-closing operations. We address these issues from the outset of each matter, helping our clients manage risk, preserve flexibility and pursue their business objectives effectively.
