AI lawyers

What does an artificial intelligence lawyer do?

An AI lawyer has specific expertise in the legal issues raised by artificial intelligence technologies. These include:

• The protection of AI-generated creations, including creative works and software.

• Agreements governing the development and use of AI solutions.

• GDPR compliance when personal data is processed through automated systems.

• Liability for errors or harm caused by AI systems, including autonomous systems and decision-making algorithms.

Our role is to provide practical advice, assist with compliance and represent you in disputes arising from the use of AI.

Supporting your innovative projects

Artificial intelligence projects generally involve participants with different backgrounds, including software developers, startups, research laboratories, some publicly funded, large companies and local authorities. Clearly identifying and formalising each participant’s role and responsibilities is essential.

As AI lawyers, we help you:

• Draft and review agreements governing the development and use of AI solutions to safeguard your interests.

• Implement the measures and internal or external documentation needed for effective governance of automated systems, including audits, acceptable use policies and internal policies.

• Comply with the various regulations applicable to your activities.

Artificial intelligence and the law: key legal issues

Intellectual property and AI

What risks arise from using AI-generated content? What rights can be claimed in it? Can a machine learning algorithm be protected by copyright or a patent?

These questions require careful analysis at the intersection of technology law and intellectual property law.

Personal data

AI frequently relies on processing large volumes of data, including personal data. The GDPR imposes strict requirements that must be met for such processing to be lawful. These include establishing a lawful basis, informing individuals, respecting their rights of access and objection, and complying with the data minimisation principle.

Liability

Who is liable when an AI system makes an incorrect decision or causes harm? This question is central to legal discussions surrounding AI, particularly where autonomous or self-learning systems are involved.

Legal expertise to help you anticipate regulatory developments

The legal framework governing artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, particularly through European Union initiatives. The EU Artificial Intelligence Act introduces strict requirements concerning transparency, safety and oversight, particularly for systems classified as high-risk. Other legislation, including the Data Act and the Digital Services Act, complements this framework by regulating the wider digital environment.

Against this changing backdrop, our firm continually monitors legal developments to provide advice reflecting the latest applicable obligations. We combine legal rigour with a practical understanding of your operations to help safeguard your projects.

Who may need an AI lawyer?

• Startups and technology companies developing algorithms, intelligent software or SaaS platforms.

• SMEs and large businesses incorporating AI tools into functions such as human resources, production, logistics and marketing.

• Local authorities implementing automated management or monitoring systems.

• Healthcare professionals using diagnostic or clinical decision-support tools.

• Educational institutions using adaptive or automated learning systems.

Whether you develop, use or provide an AI solution, working with an AI lawyer helps you manage legal risks, anticipate regulatory obligations and safeguard your contracts and data processing activities.
