Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises significant opportunities, creating value, driving growth and delivering innovation.

There are risks, often novel, which need to be managed carefully by regulators and businesses as technology and use cases evolve.

Our multidisciplinary Technology team is highly skilled in helping organisations across multiple sectors embrace cutting-edge technologies. Our experts combine deep technical knowledge with keen understanding and insights into how the public sector and businesses procure, design, develop and deploy AI.

We provide commercially relevant, pragmatic advice to help you navigate AI regulation and risk while maximising the strategic benefits this technology offers.

As well as supporting clients who are investing in and deploying AI, our team is regularly called upon to provide expert guidance on regulation and other developments in the UK, EU and internationally.

From AI regulation to commercialisation and risk management, we empower you to navigate the complex and fast-evolving legal landscape with confidence.
