Piper Alderman invites you to the first session in the ‘Defence and Space Industry Masterclass’ series for 2026.
AUKUS is driving legal and policy reform in the defence industry at a rapid pace. The year 2025 was no exception, seeing a raft of developments that look set to impact the coming year.
In our opening session, defence industry specialist Travis Shueard will provide a practical update on recent legal, regulatory and policy developments shaping the defence sector, and key issues teams should be preparing for in the year ahead.
What we’ll cover:
- Key industry and regulatory updates affecting defence businesses
- The naval nuclear power safety framework
- Developments since the AUKUS export controls reforms, including compliance considerations
- Unmanned systems and where the law is heading
- Updates to commercial legislation impacting defence companies
- What in-house legal and commercial teams should be watching out for
This is an essential session for in house counsel, commercial and contracts managers, and legal professionals, providing clarity on how recent changes impact day to day compliance and risk management across the evolving defence legal landscape.
Guests are invited to join us in-person at our Adelaide office, followed by networking drinks. The 45-minute presentation + Q&A will also be live-streamed online.
| The workshop is open to all organisations, excluding other Australian based legal service providers. |
