Digitalization & Artificial Intelligence
Digital transformation and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) are fundamentally reshaping business models, processes, and products. These developments raise complex legal questions, and we support our clients with in-depth expertise and strategic foresight.
Our services in this area include in particular:
- Legal structuring and review of digital business models: We advise on the development, implementation, and scaling of digital products and platforms – from SaaS solutions and data-driven models to IoT applications – and ensure legally sound frameworks.
- Data protection law (especially GDPR and national regulations): We analyze data processing activities, develop data protection concepts, review consent mechanisms, and represent clients before supervisory authorities. We pay special attention to AI-related issues such as automated decision-making and profiling.
- IT and cybersecurity law: We assist companies in securing their IT infrastructure from a legal perspective, support with legal risk assessments, advise on the implementation of security standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIS2), and support them in preparing for and responding to cyber incidents.
- Contract law in the digital economy: We draft and negotiate contracts for software development, cloud services, data sharing, AI training data, platform operations, and IT outsourcing.
- AI-specific regulation and compliance: We provide guidance on current and upcoming regulatory requirements for artificial intelligence – including the EU AI Act – and assist with implementing transparency, documentation, and risk management obligations.
- Liability issues relating to AI applications: We assess liability risks associated with autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and help develop strategies to mitigate liability – through contractual provisions, monitoring standards, or organizational safeguards.
- Ethical requirements and governance: Upon request, we support companies in developing internal AI policies, ethics boards, and review mechanisms for the responsible use of emerging technologies.
Our advice combines legal expertise with technological understanding – delivering solutions that are not only compliant, but also practical and innovation-friendly.
