Are you using AI or developing your own product? We clarify which role your company plays, which requirements relate to your specific deployment and which steps follow as a result. The result is a prioritized legal action plan for your project.
Dr. Nik Sarafi represents creators, streamers and other parties involved in press and speech law disputes. Other focal areas include media and gaming law as well as digital business models. He is responsible for the direction of the law firm.
AI is not a uniform use case. An internal assistance tool, a customer chatbot and personnel selection software raise various questions. We review the classification on the basis of purpose, functions, participants and affected persons. The applicable requirements and transitional regulations, supplemented by data protection, contract law and industry-specific requirements, are decisive.
01
Classify roles & use cases
We record whether and to what extent your company acts as a provider, operator or in another role. This includes examining the intended purpose, possible risk categories and the relevant requirements for use.
02
Priorities & documentation
To the extent agreed, you will receive a legal classification and an overview of measures with responsibilities and outstanding issues. We differentiate between short-term adjustments to tasks that require technical or organizational implementation by your team.
03
Transparency & human control
We check when users need to be informed about AI interactions or specific synthetic content. We tailor approvals, human control and the handling of errors to the specific application. Not every use of AI is subject to the same labeling requirements.
We provide support with task-related information, training content and internal requirements. The aim is to deal with the possibilities and limits of the systems used in an understandable way.

Questions & answers.
Is our company automatically a provider of AI?
It depends on your actual job. Using an external service is to be judged differently than developing or marketing your own system. Changes to the system or intended use may also be relevant.
Will we get a compliance certificate?
We offer a lawyer review of the agreed facts and specific recommendations for action. This does not entail a general seal of approval or a guarantee for all legal and technical requirements. Any special compliance procedures are classified separately.
Can you support an ongoing project?
Yes We can start with an inventory and review particularly urgent issues first. We coordinate implementation, technical tests and continuous updating with the responsible people in your company.
