Legal advice for companies on the introduction and use of AI systems

Whether AI as a Service (AIaaS) or AI on Premises: the introduction of AI systems in companies for the processing of their own business processes is always also an IT project and should be planned and carried out as such. However, it places special demands on the procurement and legally compliant use of the AI systems.

Leupold Legal

  • supports you right from the planning phase of your AI implementation project,
  • draws up the project contract for (AI system adaptation and) AI system implementation,
  • checks AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) conditions of the service providers shortlisted and, if necessary, draws up individual agreements that deviate from these,
    ensures AI system availability with AI service level agreements (AI-SLA),
  • advises you on fulfilling your operator obligations under the EU AI Act
  • negotiates all contracts with the AI system provider until conclusion,
  • designs your company guidelines for AI use,
  • also advises you on the legally compliant decommissioning of your AI system.

Legal advice for companies on the development and adaptation of AI models

If you have individual requirements for the model of the AI system that you want to use in your company but cannot find an AI system whose model meets your requirements, you can have an AI model developed that is suitable for your purposes. 

The creation of an AI model ‘from scratch’ is the creation of individual software that requires a project contract that ensures that you receive an AI model that meets your requirements within the available time and budget. Leupold Legal will also provide you with the necessary support for this.
