Legal challenges

AI and emerging technologies create fast-changing questions involving governance, data, intellectual property, synthetic media, cybersecurity, transactions and liability.

How we help

We help organisations adopt and commercialise technology responsibly while protecting intellectual property, reputation and wider commercial interests.

Apex Law Chamber advises businesses, technology companies, digital platforms, innovators and other organisations on the legal and commercial challenges arising from artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

Our practice focuses on helping clients adopt and commercialise technology while managing the legal risks associated with rapidly evolving digital environments. We advise on AI governance, responsible deployment, technology transactions, data use, intellectual property, digital platforms, cybersecurity, online content and emerging forms of technology-related liability.

The practice also addresses AI-generated content, deepfakes and synthetic media, including manipulated images, videos, audio and other digital content used to impersonate individuals, mislead audiences or exploit brands and reputations. We advise on the legal implications of unauthorised use of a person’s image, voice or likeness, deceptive AI-generated content, online impersonation, misuse of intellectual property and other forms of digital abuse.

We also advise clients on the ownership, protection and commercialisation of AI-assisted and technology-generated works, as well as the use of third-party AI tools and platforms. Our approach considers both immediate legal exposure and the longer-term commercial implications of adopting emerging technologies.
