Special working groups
Artificial Intelligence
Our Artificial Intelligence (AI) working group takes a cross-disciplinary approach to the complex legal challenges arising from the development and use of AI technologies. The increasing deployment of AI is fundamentally transforming business models, value chains, and corporate decision-making processes. We support companies in implementing AI innovations in a legally compliant manner and in developing a robust AI governance framework.
Our focus includes the development of new AI technologies, compliance and liability issues for AI system operators and providers, as well as the drafting and negotiation of AI-related contracts. Additionally, many AI applications raise specific legal questions, particularly regarding trade secret protection, data privacy, and labor law.
With our holistic advisory approach, we identify the unique legal challenges of each case. Based on this analysis, our experienced and specialized legal experts develop tailored solutions for every AI project. We guide our clients from the conceptual phase to the implementation of their AI-driven initiatives—always with a focus on practical and future-proof solutions.
Our experts provide legal assessments of the use of AI, AI policies, and AI regulatory requirements. We help minimize compliance risks and establish best practices in line with national and international standards.
The use of AI in preparing executive decisions for management and supervisory boards, as well as in advisory and monitoring functions, is playing an increasingly important role in corporate governance. We support you and your boards in assessing the legal implications of using AI in governance processes and in developing AI policies and requirements tailored to your organization.
The integration of AI into business operations challenges traditional contract structures and creates the need for additional regulatory considerations. Thoughtful contract drafting is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to safeguard the legal positions of all parties involved. We assist you in legally compliant AI-related contract drafting and advise on regulatory requirements to ensure AI deployment is both legally sound and economically efficient.
AI applications are typically data-driven, requiring particular attention to compliance with data protection regulations. Users must ensure adherence to documentation, transparency, data subject rights, and automated decision-making requirements. We provide comprehensive advice on GDPR-compliant use of AI, assist in legal assessments of data processing activities, and develop tailored data protection strategies to minimize risk and ensure compliance.
The procurement, integration, and use of artificial intelligence require a clear strategic and legal foundation. We support you in contract drafting for AI sourcing, legally compliant implementation into existing business processes, protection of your intellectual property and trade secrets, and the licensing of AI technologies.
