Developing, implementing and utilising AI systems brings unique legal and commercial challenges.

At Birketts, we help clients manage these risks by providing expert support throughout the contracting process.

Our team advises on drafting and negotiating agreements for AI projects, ensuring that contracts address critical issues such as liability, intellectual property right ownership, performance obligations and compliance with emerging regulations (including the EU AI Act).

We also assist with reviewing and refining contractual clauses in wider commercial agreements where parties seek to impose clear obligations around AI systems.

In particular, we advise clients on contractual safeguards relating to the training of AI systems, helping clients protect their data, models and proprietary rights in the process.
