Overview
Corvane Ryle's multidisciplinary Artificial Intelligence practice advises the companies that develop, deploy, finance and regulate AI. We work across the full AI stack, from semiconductors and cloud infrastructure to foundation models, enterprise applications and the consumer products that put them in people's hands.
Our lawyers sit in the technology transactions, regulatory, intellectual property, privacy, antitrust and finance practices, and they work as a single team. That matters because AI problems rarely stay in one lane: a training data question is also a copyright, privacy and contracting question, and a product launch is also a consumer protection and competition question.
The regulatory landscape is moving quickly. The EU AI Act is now phasing in, with prohibited practices and AI literacy duties already applicable, obligations for general-purpose AI models in force since August 2025, and high-risk system requirements following on a staggered timetable. In the United States, state laws such as the Colorado AI Act and the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act sit alongside federal agency guidance and active FTC scrutiny of AI claims. We help clients build one governance program that holds up across all of them.
Daniel Achterberg, Global Chair of our AI Practice, leads a group of more than 150 lawyers across San Francisco, New York, London, Brussels, Singapore and Frankfurt. Together they advise on first-of-their-kind transactions and on the day-to-day decisions that determine whether an AI program scales safely.
