AI & Cyber Security

There’s no difficulty in understanding the impact of AI 

For all its complexity, the potential for AI to impact businesses is already more than apparent. What is less obvious is how to navigate the various legal hurdles.

Taking a measured approach to AI adoption that considers risk alongside potential business benefits will help mitigate the risk of negative consequences—particularly risks to confidentiality, control, and unintended data exposure.

Legal support can help you with concerns over AI-related contracts, including IP rights, liabilities for AI-generated content or supplier responsibility for AI outputs.

The wealth of legal expertise in our team can help you balance the opportunities and the concerns informing a strategic assessment of technologies that ensure you grow with confidence.

Taking security seriously

Increasingly bold, sophisticated and difficult to detect, threats are widespread, affecting household names as well as micro businesses. As commercial risks go, cyber attacks are one of the more existential, and the legal implications can be painful if not devastating.

Working hand-in-hand with your technical security and safeguards, our solicitors can help you to navigate the complex range of legal risks and responses in the digital space. 

Non-tech steps to help you stay safe

Planning for the worst helps to expose vulnerabilities in systems and processes and identifies appropriate controls which are essential to secure operations. 

Prevention, through implementing clear security standards across supplier contracts, and equally in procurement contracts can go a long way to reduce risks. 

Understanding how to prepare appropriate responses is a good place to start and can help limit damage. Equally, a rapid legal response to accompany the technical response is essential, and demands a proactive team to advise on actions and obligations.

What’s needed is affordable, relevant advice to manage the risk.
