Frequently asked questions

An AI law practice focuses specifically on the legal issues that arise from building, deploying, investing in, and regulating AI systems. This includes: understanding the EU AI Act, AI Liability Directive, and other AI-specific regulatory frameworks in detail; knowing how AI model licenses differ from software licenses; understanding the specific IP challenges around training data, model ownership, and AI-generated outputs; and having experience with the due diligence questions that AI investors and acquirers actually ask. A general tech lawyer can address many legal issues that AI companies face, but the AI-specific layers — regulatory classification, biometric data, synthetic media, post-mortem digital identity — require specialist knowledge that most general practices don’t have.
Yes. While our regulatory focus is primarily on the EU AI Act and related EU frameworks, we advise AI companies globally — including US-based companies whose products are used in the EU (and who therefore fall within the EU AI Act’s extraterritorial scope), UAE-based companies expanding into EU and UK markets, and companies in Singapore and other jurisdictions navigating cross-border AI compliance. We also advise on UAE AI regulation, UK AI frameworks, and US state-level AI laws alongside EU obligations.
The EU AI Act is a mandatory regulation that applies to AI systems placed on the EU market or used in the EU — regardless of where the provider is based. It classifies AI systems by risk level (minimal, limited, high-risk, and prohibited) and imposes obligations accordingly. High-risk AI systems — including those used in hiring, credit scoring, healthcare, and critical infrastructure — face the most demanding requirements: technical documentation, human oversight, and conformity assessments. For most AI companies with EU users or EU clients, some level of EU AI Act compliance is required. We conduct rapid scoping assessments to determine what applies to your specific product.
For a focused regulatory opinion on a single product or question — typically 2–3 weeks from receipt of relevant product documentation. An AI governance framework for a single-product company typically takes 3–6 weeks. More complex engagements (multi-product companies, M&A due diligence, cross-border compliance frameworks) require 4–8 weeks. We provide clear timeline estimates after an initial scoping call and stick to them.
Yes. Many AI companies benefit from ongoing legal support as their product, team, and regulatory environment evolve — rather than point-in-time engagements. We offer retainer arrangements that provide a defined number of hours per month for questions, document review, regulatory monitoring, and ad hoc advice. Retainer clients also get priority response times. Contact us to discuss what level of ongoing support makes sense for your stage and needs.
An initial consultation (30 minutes, free) covers: your product or situation and what legal question you’re trying to answer; a preliminary view of which legal frameworks apply and which services are most relevant; and a clear scope and timeline estimate if you want to proceed. We don’t use initial consultations to sell — we use them to determine whether we’re the right fit and what the right starting point is.
