Expertise

The dedicated lawyers and professional staff in our AI Group combine a deep level of expertise in artificial intelligence with experience advising clients across a range of sectors on the overlapping regulatory frameworks that govern the use of AI.

Our market-leading practices in data, information technology, cyber security and technology procurement mean our lawyers are well positioned to understand the whole picture of how AI compliance affects your business.
