Space Advisory
What would the future of space governance need to look like to best support a prosperous and equitable future?
We explored market needs and market appetite for a dedicated interdisciplinary legal clinic and advisory service to identify and address new and emerging uses of space, and provide conflict and dispute resolution among other space advisory services.
