Written By
Bird & Bird has contributed to the 6th edition of In-Depth: Space Law (formerly ‘The Space Law Review’) published by Lexology.
This online resource includes a ‘practice overview of the legal and regulatory frameworks governing space and satellite activities across key jurisdictions worldwide. With a focus on the most salient recent developments in this fast-evolving sector, it analyses the distinctive features of the law and commercial practice in each jurisdiction and looks at potential future trends.’
‘In-Depth: Space Law’ contains updates from experts in Satellite & Space activities at Bird & Bird. Thomas Jones, Matthew Bovaird and Dylan McGirr contribute towards the chapter on Australia, Willy Mikalef for France, and Federico Marini Balestra and Lucia Antonazzi for Italy. Additional jurisdictions featured include Brazil, Canada, China, Estonia, Germany, Japan, Lithuania, Latvia, Saudi Arabia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, the UK and USA.
For each jurisdiction, authors explored the regulation in practice, reflected on the key highlights from the past year and also provided an outlook for the future.
In the Editors Preface, the authors were praised for sharing their insights, “Feedback on previous editions of Space Law has been excellent, with copies being requested by, and shared between, authors, operators, governments, insurers, investors, academics and practitioners internationally. I am grateful to all the contributors to this sixth edition of Space Law. Their knowledge of their respective legal and regulatory frameworks - and related challenges, risks and solutions - makes this series particularly unique.”
