AI Readiness Audit
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of everyday business operations, whether through standalone tools or features built into existing software and systems. Used well, AI can improve efficiency, support decision-making and help businesses innovate. It can also raise legal and regulatory issues that may not be obvious at the outset.
Our Commercial & Regulatory team advises businesses on the legal risks associated with adopting, developing and using AI. We help organisations understand how AI fits within their existing contracts, policies and governance arrangements, and where those documents may need to be updated to reflect how the business is operating in practice.
We can support businesses that are exploring AI for the first time, already using AI tools, sharing business or customer data with AI providers, or relying on AI-generated outputs internally or externally. We can also assist with AI-related customer requirements, supplier arrangements, internal policies and approval processes.
Our work can include reviewing customer contracts, supplier terms, AI provider terms, NDAs, standard terms, privacy policies and governance documents. We focus on the issues that most often create risk, including data use, confidentiality, IP ownership, liability, audit rights and contractual restrictions.
For businesses looking for a structured starting point, our AI Readiness Audit provides a practical review of current or proposed AI use, followed by a concise red flag report with clear recommendations. The aim is to help businesses adopt and use AI safely, responsibly and in line with their legal, regulatory and commercial obligations.
