AI
AI companies need counsel who understands the technology behind the product, not only the documents around it.
A model may be trained on third-party data, fine-tuned on proprietary datasets, integrated into another platform, deployed in a regulated sector, or used to generate outputs that affect real decisions. Each of these choices can change the legal position: who owns the relevant IP, what disclosures are needed, how data may be used, where liability sits, and which regulatory obligations apply.
Legal Counsel for AI Companies
AI companies move through legal questions before the product is fully settled. Training data, model outputs, user terms, privacy, IP ownership, regulatory classification, liability, fundraising and international deployment often overlap.
Aurum helps AI startups, software companies, platforms and investors make those decisions with legal clarity and commercial speed. We advise on the structures, contracts, governance and risk controls that allow AI products to launch, scale and raise capital without creating avoidable legal exposure.
From Model Design to Legal Risk
AI legal work should follow the product, not sit outside it. The relevant risks depend on what the system does, who uses it, what data it processes, whether it affects people’s rights, and how responsibility is allocated between model providers, deployers, vendors and customers.
We work with AI-native product companies, businesses integrating third-party models, companies training or fine-tuning models on proprietary data, and organisations deploying AI in sectors such as blockchain, finance, healthcare, infrastructure, education and professional services.
We help clients structure AI products from the ground up: data flows, IP ownership, model and vendor arrangements, user-facing terms, enterprise contracts, compliance controls, governance processes and investor-facing legal readiness.
Clients come to us when they need counsel that understands what they are building, how the product functions, and where the real legal risk sits.
Complex Regulatory Environment
AI products are reaching the market faster than the legal frameworks around them can fully settle.
Some obligations are already in force, especially in areas such as data protection, consumer protection, employment, financial services, healthcare and sector-specific regulation. Other issues remain developing, including the treatment of training data, ownership and protectability of AI-generated outputs, liability for automated decisions, and governance standards for general-purpose AI and high-risk systems.
This creates a difficult operating environment for AI companies. Legal risk is not found in one statute, one regulator, or one jurisdiction. It sits across data, IP, product liability, contract law, platform rules, sector regulation and AI-specific frameworks.
Aurum helps AI businesses build legal structures and compliance frameworks that can hold across these layers. This includes IP and data rights, privacy compliance, AI product terms, liability allocation, customer and enterprise contracts, governance documentation, and regulatory positioning across major markets.
