Defence businesses face procurement, compliance, and contracting obligations that go well beyond standard commercial law. EJD Advisory brings over 10 years of direct sector experience to help you manage them.
EJD Advisory drafts, reviews, and negotiates defence sector contracts and builds procurement frameworks that protect your position across the supply chain.
We provide strategic support through tender processes, contract negotiations, and variations with government clients and prime contractors.
We build compliance programs that manage your regulatory obligations proactively and keep your business aligned with what government clients and prime contractors require.
We develop internal training and procurement policies that build commercial legal capability across the team so the people responsible for contracts and procurement understand what they are managing.
Fixed-fee retainer arrangements for ongoing embedded legal support, and fixed-cost ad hoc engagements for specific contracts, compliance questions, or procurement decisions.
The gap between a commercial legal adviser and one with direct defence sector experience is significant and it shows up quickly. Contract structures, security obligations, IP ownership in government-funded development, and the commercial dynamics of working with primes all have specific characteristics that affect how agreements need to be drafted, negotiated, and managed.
Most generalist advisers learn these things at your expense. EJD Advisory already knows them.
EJD Advisory works with SMEs in the Australian defence supply chain — subcontractors, technology providers, engineering consultants, and professional services firms supplying to prime contractors or government defence clients. Most are owner-led or professionally managed businesses with growing procurement and compliance complexity.
