Security and defence cooperation with the EU and its Member States has become a defining element of third-country relations, spanning crisis management, capacity-building, maritime security and access to European defence ecosystems.

For partner countries, engagement with EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions, defence and security partnerships, and funding instruments such as the European Peace Facility (EPF) offers opportunities to strengthen institutional resilience, professionalise security forces and anchor cooperation within a trusted political framework.

We advise governments and public authorities on positioning themselves within European security and defence architectures, including political and technical engagement related to CSDP missions and operations.

Our work supports structured dialogue with EU institutions and Member States on defence and security partnerships, ensuring alignment with European priorities while safeguarding national strategic interests.

We also assist clients in navigating access to Member States’ defence sectors, including industrial cooperation, capability development and compliance with regulatory and political sensitivities.

A particular focus of our work lies in maritime security, where EU engagement increasingly combines naval operations, capacity-building and regional cooperation. We support advocacy and coordination related to maritime domain awareness, sea-lane security and cooperation with EU-led initiatives.

Across all areas, we combine policy expertise, institutional access and strategic communications to help clients engage credibly, constructively and sustainably with Europe’s evolving security and defence agenda.
