AI advisory: AI projects bring opportunities and challenges

Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the greatest innovation levers of our times. Recent studies show that the market for AI in Europe is potentially worth several hundred billion euros, and companies in virtually all sectors can tap into this potential. From process automation to the development of new business models, AI unlocks a plethora of opportunities to increase efficiency and secure a competitive advantage.

But these opportunities come with major challenges. AI systems are coming up against increasingly strict regulatory requirements, not least due to the introduction of the EU Regulation on Artificial Intelligence (AI Act). At the same time, ethical issues, data protection, liability risks and the involvement of works councils pose complex challenges to companies.

To make sure that AI projects are successful and legally compliant, companies need legal support that understands innovative technologies while at the same time taking regulatory and ethical standards consistently into account.

Our range of consultancy services

AI feasibility check

Our AI feasibility check offers an in-depth assessment of your AI project’s feasibility, tailored to your business requirements. We identify specific potential applications, evaluate technical and organisational challenges in relation to the legal requirements, and provide a clear recommendation for action. This saves you time and resources, as you only pursue feasible projects that offer measurable added value.

AI services: works council & employees

The use of AI requires early and transparent communication with works councils and employees. We support you in incorporating these stakeholders in a legally compliant way, minimising resistance and in doing so creating acceptance. So you can be sure that your AI projects are both technologically and organisationally successful.

AI procurement management

The procurement of AI systems is subject to complex legal and technical requirements. We support you in structuring efficient and legally compliant procurement processes, selecting the best providers and optimising long-term contracts, allowing you to maximise the quality of your AI solutions and minimise legal risks.

Legal AI monitoring and steering

AI systems must be continuously monitored to comply with legal standards. As a law firm, we monitor the regulatory requirements placed on your AI systems on your behalf. We analyse changes in case law and legislation and prepare informative reports containing clear recommendations for action. We protect your company from regulatory and reputational risks by carrying out proactive escalation management and adjustments in line with new legal requirements.

AI training for employees

Ultimately, the success of an AI project comes down to the skills of employees. Our customised training programme provides practical knowledge of AI technologies and their application, increasing the efficiency of your teams and ensuring the sustainable integration of AI in your organisation. At the same time, your employees’ AI skills fulfil the requirements laid down in the AI Act.

Legal Documentation

Clear and comprehensive documentation is the key to legally compliant AI projects. We draft customised legal documents ranging from privacy policies to liability clauses. This means you are optimally prepared when it comes to fulfilling regulatory requirements and making sure your projects are legally compliant.

Governance

An effective AI governance model is essential when it comes to striking the right balance between innovation and compliance. We help you to develop structures and guidelines that clarify responsibilities and set uniform standards, creating transparency, minimising risk and promoting acceptance of your AI initiatives among all stakeholders.
