Our collaboration with LEXR has been really close-knit. LEXR has proven to be an invaluable asset to startups like ours—agile, flexible, and swift in their operations, all while maintaining a high standard of quality. We rely on LEXR a lot, particularly for our commercial contracts, and have consistently found their services to be efficient and effective.
Tapping into LEXR’s expertise and leveraging their advice was a great experience – as great as it can be when dealing with such an uncharming topic like data privacy. We kicked it off with an overall assessment. After that, a clear action plan with specific sub-task ownership and a pragmatic, hands-on approach were the key ingredients for successfully revamping our data privacy setup in view of the revised Data Protection Act.
We strongly recommend working with LEXR - a team of lawyers passionate about both their craft and our mission. They think one step ahead, stay pragmatic - crucial for an early-stage startup - and pair deep expertise with a forward-looking, tech-driven approach.

Our AI lawyers cover the entire lifecycle
From training data to deployed decisions, and everything in between, in one team.
From machine learning and training to the actual use of AI, we guide tech companies through AI regulations, ensuring compliance with global frameworks like the EU AI Act and privacy laws such as the EU GDPR or the Swiss DPA. We craft tailored strategies so you can move fast while mitigating risk.
We advise on what data, information and copyright you can use to train large language models and AI agents, how you legally protect your AI innovations and the AI-generated output, and how to use AI software safely to safeguard your business secrets.
Our AI lawyers are experts in every legal question around licensing AI: from choosing the right open-source license for your foundational model, to licensing your copyrighted works or data for training, to drafting and reviewing license terms and GTCs of AI models.
When AI models make decisions, from self-driving cars to which ads are shown to a specific user, there is legal risk and potential liability that needs to be properly addressed. We help you mitigate and manage these risks, from regulatory compliance to proper limitations of liability.
Whether you are a VC fund investing in AI startups or considering an M&A transaction with an AI company, you need a legal team that not only knows how to do deals, but also has deep expertise in conducting a proper legal due diligence on AI companies.
