Areas of activity
-Legal mapping of systems and risk classification
Our Firm conducts preliminary analyses of artificial intelligence systems used or being developed by clients, identifying their purposes, characteristics, the organisation’s role, data flows, stakeholders and the applicable regulatory classification. This activity makes it possible to define the relevant legal and organisational requirements and identify the principal risks associated with the use of the system.
-Personal data protection and privacy by design
The use of artificial intelligence frequently involves the collection, analysis or processing of personal data relating to customers, employees, users, suppliers and other third parties. Our Firm assists data controllers and data processors in assessing the lawfulness of processing activities, defining appropriate security measures and incorporating data protection principles from the design and development stages of the system.
-Contracts with technology providers and development agreements
Our Firm drafts, negotiates and reviews contracts relating to artificial intelligence systems, models and services, including development, licensing, supply, integration, maintenance and support agreements. Particular attention is paid to the allocation of responsibilities, data management, service levels, security, ownership of developments and outputs, and the allocation of risks between the parties.

Our Firm assists businesses and creative professionals in managing rights relating to data, content, software, models, databases and outputs generated or reworked through artificial intelligence systems. Our work also covers the protection of trade secrets and confidential information, as well as the assessment of risks associated with the use of third-party materials in the training or operation of such systems.
