A practical readiness and implementation engagement. It does not replace your legal counsel, a formal conformity assessment or certification. We work alongside your counsel, never in its place. Prices in euros, excluding applicable taxes.

Who we work with

Companies of 10 to 250 people

Manufacturing, logistics, retail and e-commerce, hospitality, professional services, education, HR-heavy businesses and finance or insurance intermediaries. Often AI arrived through vendors, with nobody owning the whole picture.

Companies selling into the EU from outside it

From Latin America and the GCC: the Act applies when your AI is placed on the EU market or its output is used in the EU, and EU customers ask their suppliers for evidence.

Family offices and investors

AI used on people, such as hiring tools or credit decisions about individuals, is high-risk, and investors increasingly ask portfolio companies for evidence of AI governance. We run readiness across a portfolio as one engagement.

What does the Act require of a company that only uses AI tools?

As a deployer: staff AI literacy measures (Article 4, since February 2025), transparency when people interact with AI or see AI content (Article 50, since August 2026), and, for high-risk uses such as hiring or credit, human oversight, logs and informing the people affected (from 2 December 2027).

Did the Digital Omnibus change the deadlines?

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 moved high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 (Annex III) and 2 August 2028 (Annex I), and added two prohibited practices from 2 December 2026. It did not move Article 50 or Articles 4 and 5.

Is this legal advice?
