The practice group acts on financings as well as M&A of AI developers and start-ups; regulatory advice on EU AI directives, the design of internal structures, and on risk governance strategies; and has recently led on a number of disputes concerning the interaction between AI, IP and product liability law. Illustrating the breadth of the practice, corporate specialist Norman Röchert advises on high-value acquisitions and financing rounds, Carsten Schulz specialises in data centre and digital infrastructure projects, and Mareike Christine Gehrmann covers regulatory, operational, and employment elements of AI model deployments.

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'I really appreciate the emphasis they put on going beyond the law. Whether it is industry knowledge or communicating with regulators, they are able to share more information than we can find online. That is where their value is at. They have additional insight we can't get elsewhere.'
  • 'The Taylor Wessing team is very practical and business minded. They are different from a lot of outside counsel we work with because they actually help find solutions. The understand the technology and can advise based on their understanding of how things work on the systems and aren't just telling us what the law says.'
  • 'Very competent lawyers with an excellent feel for how to translate legal requirements into operational topics. They are fast, solution oriented, and don't waste time showcasing their knowhow - everything an in-house counsel needs to act in a fast and agile manner.'
