Who this is for
AI law now touches every organisation that builds, buys or simply uses AI systems
Artificial intelligence law is the emerging body of rules governing how AI systems are developed, placed on the market and used, centred on the EU AI Act — the first comprehensive regulation of its kind — together with the GDPR, product-safety, liability and intellectual-property rules that sit alongside it. The AI Act classifies systems by risk, imposes obligations that vary with that classification and with your role as provider or deployer, and applies far beyond the technology sector to anyone using AI in areas like recruitment, credit, health or public services. The obligations phase in over time and are interpreted differently across member states. We connect you with a lawyer who maps where your organisation sits in this framework and what you need to do.
Why organisations are caught out
Teams treat AI as a technical or commercial question
while the legal duties go unnoticed
By the time a prohibited use or a high-risk classification is identified, the system is often already built or bought.
Unknown risk classification
Whether an AI system is prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk or minimal-risk determines the entire set of obligations — and organisations frequently misjudge where their system falls, with serious consequences.
No AI governance in place
The rules expect providers and deployers to run risk management, documentation, human oversight and transparency processes — and many organisations have simply not built those systems yet.
AI bought, not built
Deploying a third-party AI tool — for hiring, customer scoring or content — carries its own obligations, yet many buyers assume the vendor’s responsibilities cover them. They usually do not.
What you get
Clarity on where you stand in the AI framework
We only match you with lawyers who advise on the EU AI Act, AI governance and related obligations for organisations like yours.
Role and risk assessment
Your lawyer determines whether you are a provider or deployer, how your AI systems are classified, and which obligations actually apply — so you know your real exposure.
Compliance roadmap
You get a phased plan to meet the requirements that apply to you, from documentation and risk management to transparency and human oversight, aligned with the applicable deadlines.
AI governance set up
Your lawyer helps you build the policies, roles and review processes the rules expect, so compliance is embedded in how you build and use AI rather than bolted on afterwards.
Contract and vendor review
For AI you buy or sell, your lawyer reviews the agreements to allocate responsibility, intellectual property and liability correctly across the whole supply chain of providers and users.
Coverage
AI law lawyers across Europe
The EU AI Act applies across the Union, but member states designate their own authorities and approaches to enforcement, and national laws add further requirements, so the right lawyer is one who works with your markets and regulators. We match cases across the following countries and beyond:
Frequently asked
Artificial intelligence law — common questions
What is the EU AI Act?
It is a regulation that creates a risk-based framework for AI systems, banning certain uses, imposing strict obligations on high-risk systems and setting transparency duties for others. It applies across the EU and its obligations phase in over time, so current guidance is essential.
Does the AI Act apply to my business?
It can apply to any organisation that provides or deploys AI systems in the EU, regardless of sector or size, including buyers of third-party AI tools. Whether and how it applies depends on your role and the risk level of the systems involved, which a lawyer can assess.
What is the difference between an AI provider and a deployer?
A provider develops an AI system or places it on the market under its own name, while a deployer uses it in a professional context. The Act assigns different obligations to each, so getting the role right is the first step in any compliance effort.
What makes an AI system ‘high-risk’?
High-risk classification arises from the system’s use — for example in areas such as recruitment, credit scoring, biometrics, education or critical infrastructure — and brings the most demanding obligations. The precise classification depends on the facts and evolving guidance.
How does AI law interact with the GDPR?
AI systems that process personal data must also comply with the GDPR, including rules on automated decision-making, transparency and lawful basis. The two frameworks overlap and are enforced alongside each other, so they need to be considered together.
What happens if my AI system is non-compliant?
Consequences vary by country and can include investigation, orders to bring a system into compliance or withdraw it, and, in serious cases, significant administrative fines. Because enforcement is still maturing, early advice can materially reduce your exposure.
