NewSpace – CMS Space Law & Innovation
Legal expertise for the economic world in space
The digital transformation is everywhere, not just in spheres close to the ground. Space plays a key role in the success of digitalisation as well as for research, business and defense. Some also see infinite possibilities for overcoming the challenges of our time, such as the climate crisis, procuring resources and successfully handling ecological change and the mobility transition.
The European Union (EU) has recognised the potential and relevance of space for Europe and is focusing on it in its Work Programme 2025, and in other areas. Alongside private companies and innovative business ideas, an important EU legislative project for the development of space travel and the global space economy is in the starting blocks: the EU Space Act. The German government has also already presented a Space Strategy, which the coalition elected in 2025 would like to pursue further.
The experts in our interdisciplinary teams have in-depth knowledge of all areas of law relating to space and will support you in designing and implementing your business models in this innovative field.
