Defense

Simpson Thacher has an enviable track record of helping clients in the defense industry maneuver in an often unpredictable environment at a time of intense fiscal pressure in Washington.

Our success comes from decades of experience representing defense and security companies—including some of the world’s largest private defense contractors—in mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, financings, securities offerings, compliance and dispute resolution.

Deal Highlights
Our representations have included L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (and its predecessor L-3 Communications) in more than a dozen acquisitions and dispositions, including L-3’s business combination with Harris Corporation, as well as the acquisitions of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, the Kollmorgen Electro-optical unit of Danaher Corporation, Insight Technology and Northrop Grumman’s Electron Devices and Displays-Navigation Systems businesses; Angeles Equity Partners in its acquisition of Primus Aerospace; SAIC in the $5 billion separation of its technical, engineering and enterprise IT services business into two public companies; and Ingersoll-Rand in its $4 billion spin-off of Allegion
