Defence and security

We support defence players on their strategic contract management challenges, in France and internationally.

Prime Conseil, a pure player in contract management

A deep understanding of the specifics of defence contracts.

The defence and security sector has many specific features, whether in the type of risks and opportunities attached to certain contracts, the relationships between stakeholders (states, large groups, mid-market companies or SMEs), or the sovereignty and security stakes involved.

That is why, within our defence and security practice, we have developed tailored skills and methods and built a team of contract managers experienced in defence contracts (naval, nuclear, aerospace and space, special forces) and security contracts (solutions and services for the protection of people and assets).

That experience, gained on large and complex contracts in France and internationally, allows us to support our clients in setting up and running their contracts, at every stage of the contract lifecycle.
