Osborne Clarke

Osborne Clarke is an international legal practice with more than 1,600 legal professionals across 26 locations, including offices in eight EU member states, the UK, the US and Singapore. Clients typically engage the firm when a product launch, procurement exercise or deployment decision runs into the EU AI Act: its lawyers publish detailed guidance on the Act's phased compliance deadlines and route questions to named country contacts in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Poland and the UK. The AI, data and transformative technologies practice advises on machine-learning use in regulated settings, automated decision-making under the GDPR, AI-related liability and discrimination questions, and the contracts that govern AI and emerging-technology projects. Legal 500 ranks the firm Tier 1 for artificial intelligence in both London and Germany, and Chambers ranks its German AI practice. Work is matter-based and partner-led, with practice leads including Gianluigi Marino (Head of AI and Digitalisation, Italy) and Mark Taylor (Head of Digitalisation, UK). As a law firm it provides legal advisory rather than certification services: it does not implement ISO 42001 management systems and does not perform certification audits or conformity assessments, and it does not publish pricing.
