Our Solutions to Meet Every EU AI Act Requirement
We conduct a comprehensive legal audit of your AI infrastructure. Our experts identify and classify your AI systems by risk level (Unacceptable, High, Limited, or Minimal) as defined by the EU AI Act, to determine your specific compliance obligations.
Our team performs a deep-dive assessment to identify misalignments between your current operations and the EU AI Act requirements. We provide a prioritized legal roadmap and an immediate action plan to bridge compliance gaps and mitigate regulatory exposure.
We align your data handling practices with both GDPR and the new AI Act mandates. This includes reviewing data governance frameworks, performing Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) where required for high-risk AI, and ensuring lawful data usage for model training.
We help you implement (or reimagine) an AI governance framework. Our legal experts draft internal policies, define roles and responsibilities, and establish best practices for AI development and deployment that meet emerging European regulatory standards.
Compliance requires clear communication. We draft transparency disclosures for your customers and partners, and we help define legal expectations and contractual obligations for every stakeholder group in your AI supply chain.
We provide specialized legal consulting on how the Act overlaps with existing laws, such as the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Cybersecurity Act, NIS2 Directive and the Product Liability Directive, ensuring a holistic legal strategy.
