Defence Strategy & Solutions LLP describes itself as:

A very different strategic advisory firm dedicated to the Defence, National Security and Resilience Sectors. The firm specialises in providing policy, strategic advice and solutions to clients at the most senior levels of Government and Industry. We often form a bridge between Government and Industry bringing together interested parties to work jointly on issues of strategic importance.

In other words they provide lobbying services. Clients include not just the corporations looking to fix deals with government but also government. The firm is one of a large number of corporations (though a small number of lobbying firms) to have a pass for the main Ministry of Defence building in Whitehall
