Malcolm Parry is a partner in Hogan Lovells Cadwaladers’ Aerospace and Defence sector. He advises public and private sector clients on structuring and negotiating complex, often “first-of-a-kind”, transactions in highly regulated and sensitive environments, particularly those driven by evolving defence requirements and national security priorities. Malcolm has extensive experience supporting major defense and technology projects, including those at the intersection of sovereign capability, security of supply, and emerging technologies. His work frequently involves large-scale, strategically significant programmes, navigating procurement frameworks, regulatory constraints, and government contracting considerations across the UK and internationally. Malcolm also regularly supports clients and colleagues on M&A, leveraging his understanding of the regulatory environment and sector-specific revenue models to maximise value during the transaction itself through into post-merger integration. Recognised by Legal 500 UK in each of the past three years, Malcolm combines deep sector knowledge with a strong track record in advising on transactions and regulatory developments in defence, nuclear, and broader energy markets. He is also active in matters linked to energy transition and dual-use technologies where innovation and defence priorities converge.
