Beleaguered UK defence giant BAE Systems is set to ramp up its legal know-how system in the wake of a major restructuring that has led to the creation of more than 15 new senior legal roles at the company.

The know-how system, dubbed LVIS, is currently being trialled and is set to be fully rolled out in the next month, with BAE general counsel Philip Bramwell looking to involve the company’s adviser firms in the new year.
