Robotics & Embedded AI Lawyers

Commercial Contracts & Export Regulation

Once AI moves from software into physical systems, contracts and compliance become significantly more complex. We draft and negotiate development, manufacturing, integration and licensing agreements for robotics and embedded AI, reflecting real technical dependencies across hardware, firmware and models.

Our team advises on risk allocation across suppliers, integrators and customers, including update, maintenance, cybersecurity responsibilities, and long-term support obligations. We also guide you through export controls, dual-use rules and sanctions regimes, helping you identify export-sensitive technologies early and structure cross-border transactions with legal certainty.

Intellectual Property & Technology Transfer

Robotics and connected systems require a coherent IP strategy across the full hardware, software and model stack. We help you decide what to patent, what to protect through copyright, and what to retain as confidential know-how, including datasets, model tuning and manufacturing-sensitive information. Our lawyers secure IP ownership when working with engineering partners, manufacturers and external developers, and structure technology transfer and licensing arrangements that preserve control over your core assets as you scale.

Regulatory Compliance for Robotics & Embedded AI

Bringing AI-enabled hardware to market, especially in the EU, requires early alignment with complex regulatory frameworks. We advise on the GDPR, the AI Act, the Data Act, the Cyber Resilience Act and product safety requirements as they apply to robotics, autonomous systems and connected devices. From qualification as high-risk AI to conformity assessments and allocation of compliance responsibilities across the value chain, we translate regulatory obligations into concrete technical and organizational measures.

Product Liability & Risk Management

Where intelligent systems interact with the physical world, liability exposure increases. We support you in designing products and contractual frameworks that reduce regulatory and civil liability risk across the full lifecycle, from data collection and model training to deployment, updates and post-market monitoring. Our advice covers documentation, risk assessments, human oversight, cybersecurity and incident response structures, helping you build compliant and defensible products from day one.
