Foley & Lardner LLP partner Louis Lehot authored The Recorder article, “An M&A Lawyer’s Insight Into Earth’s Challenges From Outer Space,” exploring the growing business of space tourism and the plans underway for expanding this novel form of escape.
“Reflecting on history, the last Space Race catalyzed groundbreaking innovations that reshaped our world, including satellite technology, GPS and solar energy. The current return to the stars holds the promise of similar revolutions in computing, telecommunications and earth observation,” Lehot concludes. “The New Space Age is a technological frontier but also a legal one. As space technologies become integral to addressing Earth’s challenges, the role of M&A lawyers specializing in technology becomes increasingly crucial.”
