Data Privacy, Cyber & Digital

Artificial intelligence is developing at breakneck speed, but the legal system is still catching up. Which is why we’ve prepared AI risks: stories told and untold by current case law, a publication which explores the key legal risks emerging from AI and machine learning technologies, and highlights what current case law reveals (and doesn’t) about risk, liability, and regulation.We have also developed a Global AI case tracker, a companion resource which summarises recent and ongoing legal proceedings around the world involving AI systems.

These resources are essential reading for organisations developing or deploying AI, and for anyone navigating the rapidly shifting AI regulatory landscape. If these resources raise questions for you, please contact us.

Many of our clients use digital and data-driven technologies to enhance collaboration, increase efficiency, develop products and keep up with competitors. We assist with general data protection compliance, transactions, data sharing, cyber incidents, data rights and regulatory enquiries. Our practice supports clients on UK/EU GDPR matters and market entry strategies. We also offer external Data Protection Officer services.

Data privacy is relevant to all areas of the firm’s practice, and the collective experience of our subject matter experts in this field stretches across the firm.
