AREAS OF FOCUS
AI offers transformative potential responsible adoption requires strong governance and risk management. Our AI governance and risk management lawyers help clients implement proportionate, effective AI governance frameworks, identify and mitigate critical risks, and respond swiftly and effectively when issues arise.
We guide clients through rapidly evolving AI regulatory landscapes in the UK, EU, and globally, providing practical, cross-disciplinary advice on compliance, product development, and strategic planning in response to emerging rules and enforcement trends.
Our antitrust lawyers regularly assist clients particularly in technology, life sciences, and private equity with high-stakes, regulator-intensive AI transactions, from merger clearance and review to complex civil litigation and arbitration.
We partner with AI-native companies and those integrating AI in transformative ways, guiding them through every stage of the corporate lifecycle from formation and financing to strategic exit. We provide business-minded advice on incorporations, financings, IP licensing, patent strategy, executive and employee matters, and complex M&A transactions.
The rapid adoption of AI tools significantly expands companies’ attack surfaces and introduces new vulnerabilities. Our cybersecurity experts help clients proactively identify and mitigate risks associated with AI systems, protect traditional IT infrastructure from AI-enabled threats, and respond effectively as first responders when critical incidents occur.
Our litigators advise clients and deal teams on identifying and mitigating AI-related litigation risks at an early stage, representing them in high-stakes IP litigation and dispute matters across courts, agencies, and arbitral forums worldwide.
We deliver a unified approach to transactions, counselling, and litigation across jurisdictions, advising on agreements, investigations, and disputes to help clients manage AI-related employment risks from protecting confidential data to responsibly managing the use of AI in hiring and workforce decisions.
Our AI patent team combines technical depth with strategic insight to help clients protect and commercialise AI-driven innovations. We develop multifaceted IP protection strategies (patents, trade secrets, copyright) aligned with business goals to ensure robust protection and enforceability when required.
Our privacy team provides strategic counselling, advice, and transaction-focused diligence to help clients build data-driven AI products and services that comply with UK, EU, and international privacy regulations, including GDPR and emerging data protection frameworks.
We advise clients on AI-related technology transactions, providing strategic business advice and drafting/negotiating agreements that govern the development, use, and commercialisation of AI technologies.
