Artificial Intelligence

AI based solutions are increasingly being used in business. This triggers an obligation to evaluate them both in terms of legal compliance and the risks they entail.

Legal advice on implementing AI-based solutions

Our AI Team provides comprehensive legal assistance with respect to the use of AI-based solutions. We carry out audits, evaluating artificial intelligence systems from the perspective of the risk of their use in business, and prepare legally required documentation. We prepare, review and negotiate contracts for the supply of AI-based software.

We advise and represent businesses in disputes arising from the use of AI-based tools, including allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights and liability for damages caused by AI-based software. We also help to use such solutions in large-scale litigation and arbitration (e-discovery, predictive coding).

AI Act implementation support

Artificial intelligence continues to develop, and with it comes new national and international regulations. At the EU level, a new regulation on artificial intelligence (AI Act) was adopted, which came into force on 2 August 2024 and will start to apply – depending on the group of regulations – within 6, 12 or 24 months from this date (most from 2 August 2026). This regulation – following the model of the GDPR – requires businesses to adapt their activities to the numerous obligations stipulated therein. Our team has been and will continue to support clients in this process – both during the ongoing preparatory period and once the EU regulation and the relevant national regulations start to apply.

Interdisciplinary AI team

The range of legal issues related to the use of artificial intelligence is wide. Therefore, we have created an interdisciplinary team that brings together specialists not only in artificial intelligence and new technology law, but also in data protection, intellectual property, dispute resolution and contract law. In addition, the AI team supports other departments of the law firm with its knowledge and experience, such as in projects related to the use of artificial intelligence in HR, direct sales or in assessing the compatibility of solutions with competition law.
