Artificial Intelligence

As a technology law firm, OrionW has represented companies of all sizes, from innovative start-ups to the largest multinational corporations exploring the AI space.

We have seen AI in the early days of machine learning, predictive analytics and big data processing as applications were conceived, tested and developed, have helped to commercialise it, have negotiated ventures to expand its reach and have helped others build businesses selling, supporting, integrating and extending it. Now, with the new iteration of generative and agentic AI services, tools and applications, we are supporting that same journey.

As governments and regulators tighten oversight of AI systems, staying compliant while innovating has become increasingly complex.

Our AI specialist services cover:

  • AI-specific regulatory compliance support
  • Internal AI governance policies and accountability structures
  • Data protection and cybersecurity guidance
  • AI development, licensing and integration agreements
  • IP ownership, licensing and usage rights for AI-generated outputs
  • Liability, warranties and indemnities for AI-related risks
  • AI risk assessments and audits
