The main areas covered by the service include:

Regulation and international law: PANETTA Consulting Group’s team provides advice on international space regulations, including UN space treaties and conventions, as well as the national laws of the countries involved in space activities.

Authorisations and licences: PANETTA Consulting Group assists companies in obtaining the authorisations and licences required to conduct space activities. The service includes managing interactions with regulatory authorities and preparing the necessary documentation.

Contracts: the team provides support in drafting and negotiating contracts specific to the space sector and all related industries, from component supply agreements to contracts for the development of aerospace technologies and components, from cooperation agreements to public contracts and procurement in general.

Liability and risk management: space activities involve significant legal and technical risks. PANETTA Consulting Group advises on the management of legal liability for incidents or damage caused by space activities, including advice on space insurance policies and on how to minimise risks through effective legal and operational strategies.

Protection of intellectual property and innovation: the development of new space technologies requires adequate protection of intellectual property. PANETTA Consulting Group supports its clients in the registration and protection of patents, trademarks and trade secrets connected with space technologies, ensuring that innovation is protected in a highly competitive sector.

Sustainability and space environmental regulation: with the growth of space activities, sustainability and the prevention of space debris are becoming increasingly important, also in light of new regulations already approved by certain countries or currently under approval. PANETTA Consulting Group advises on the environmental regulations applicable to space and on how companies can help keep outer space safe and sustainable for future generations.

Relying on PANETTA Consulting Group for legal advice on Space Law means having an expert partner that is up to date with the latest regulatory and technical developments in the aerospace sector and connected markets.
