AI governance, compliance, and risk, built to hold up.

Legal AI is the axis of the firm: advisory, ongoing accompaniment, and training for organizations adopting artificial intelligence, from usage policy to audit and documentation.

Entry by what you need, not by how the firm is organised

Technology companies

A product that runs a model, customers in Europe, and a regulation that took effect before the team had time to read it.

• EU AI Act: Which category the product falls into, what is required of it, and how much of that is required already.
• Privacy and data: When a data protection officer is mandatory, and what the organization owes beyond the appointment itself.
• IP and training data: What may be fed to the model, who owns the output, and where the code picks up a licence you never intended.
• AI training: The boundary of allowed and forbidden, embedded with the people writing the code and not only those approving it.

Public sector and authorities

An administrative decision a system recommends has to explain itself, two years after it was made as well.

• Decision systems: Explainable, bias-audited, and able to withstand an administrative petition and State Comptroller review.
• AI procurement: What the specification and the supplier contract must carry, before the system starts deciding anything.
• Renewal for authorities: Opposite the developers, opposite the rights holders, and opposite the timetable the plan committed to.
• Public sector training: In-House programs for the people who operate the systems and the people who sign off on them.

Companies and businesses

A transaction, a contract, or a dispute whose exposure is larger than the number written on it.

• Commercial contracts: Drafting, review and adjustment of the agreements the business lives on, before a court reads them first.
• Real estate deals: Purchase, sale, combination deals, and due diligence on the asset and on the party across the table.
• M&A: What gets checked before ownership changes hands, and where the exposure that never reaches the statements sits.
• Board exposure: An exposure matrix, risk classification, and a defensible record for every material decision.

Private clients

A home, a property, or an agreement whose signature changes your life. Here we check what the other side checked long ago.

• TAMA 38 and urban renewal: What to check in the developer's agreement, which collateral is required, and what happens when the project stalls.
• Property abroad: The governing law is not the law you know. What gets checked before the first transfer of money.
• Second opinion: Another reading of the agreement already on the table, while it can still be changed.
• Exposure check: A few questions that mark where the risk in your transaction sits, with no meeting to commit to.

We turn legal risk into a system you can control.

Complex cases fail on the small things: a clause that slips, a deadline no one logged, an exposure flagged too late. We build the layer that catches them, pairing algorithmic legal and economic analysis with disciplined process.

Law, real estate, and AI in one place. We guide deals and buyers in Israel and abroad, represent owners and rights-holders, audit exposure and streamline contract drafting, and keep even the most complex matters under sharp, documented control.

The AI and algorithmic-risk layer

AI Regulation & EU AI Act Conformity

Risk classification, GPAI obligations, and technical documentation, mapped into an orderly conformity matrix. For tech exporters and for M&A and VC due diligence, phased by obligation and risk tier.

AI Liability & Risk Governance

For boards, executives, and CPAs: a conformity index and exposure matrix that price your algorithmic liability early, before a regulator or a claimant does.

IP & Data Protection

A defensible IP layer around your technology and a secure, Privacy-by-Design data architecture: patents, trade secrets, and proprietary models.

Contracts & Venture Counsel

Automated contract governance, counsel for startups and technology companies, funding rounds and founder agreements, and technology due diligence for deals.

Public Sector AI

For municipalities, ministries, and public tenders: explainable, bias-audited decision systems that withstand administrative petitions and State Comptroller review.

Mediation & Dispute Resolution (DOM)

Decision-Oriented Mediation for AI, corporate, and regulatory disputes, and defense of automated decisions under challenge, on a defensible record.

A firm and an AI lab, under one roof

• Firm & lab: Elite legal advisory and an AI-solutions practice under one roof, no hand-off, no translation loss.
• Algorithmic precision: Legal logic governs the statistics, never the reverse. The engine augments judgment; it never replaces it.
• Defensible by design: Every decision sourced, dated, and reproducible, built to hold up in front of a judge.
• 20+ years, high stakes: Deep experience where exposure is real: technology, regulated enterprise, and public institutions.

What makes your firm different from traditional tech law firms?

Traditional firms advise on law without understanding a single line of code. We bridge this gap. As a Tech-Legal boutique, we operate at the intersection of advanced law, applied economics, and AI architecture. We understand your product, RAG systems, and database structures from day one, so your legal framework is designed to protect and strengthen your technological assets.

How do you help startups protect their IP when using Generative AI?

We implement strict Privacy-by-Design protocols. This includes establishing secure local environments (using open-source models) to prevent sensitive IP and customer data from leaking into public clouds. We also design robust AI usage policies to ensure your developers do not pollute your proprietary source code with third-party copyrighted material, which could otherwise jeopardize future funding or M&A.

What is the Clinic and Engine model?

It is our dual-force operational framework. The Clinic represents our knowledge, research, and elite advisory, where we conduct masterclasses, executive training, and draft bespoke legal strategies. The Engine is our execution and integration arm, where we build secure AI platforms, automate contract governance, and engineer the actual tech-legal infrastructure for your business.

How do you help public sector bodies and local authorities adopt AI safely?

We build the governance layer that public adoption demands: explainable decision systems, documented bias auditing, and a defensible record for every automated determination. The result withstands administrative petitions, freedom-of-information scrutiny, and State Comptroller review, so an authority can adopt AI without inviting the challenge that follows opaque, unaccountable systems.

What is DOM (Decision-Oriented Mediation) and how does it work?

DOM is our proprietary, 8-module dispute resolution framework designed for complex AI, corporate, and regulatory conflicts. Unlike traditional, drawn-out litigation or standard mediation, DOM is strictly time-bound, analytical, and highly structured. It combines law and economic modeling to drive the parties toward an optimal, legally binding settlement without draining organizational resources.

Can you help our enterprise comply with global AI regulations like the EU AI Act?

Yes. We specialize in proactive regulatory engineering. We perform algorithmic risk assessments and align your tech stack with the strictest global frameworks (including the EU AI Act and advanced privacy laws). We turn compliance from a bureaucratic hurdle into a competitive advantage that builds trust with enterprise clients.

Do you build the actual AI platforms and automated workflows for clients?

Absolutely. We do not just write contracts; we engineer the systems that govern them. We assist organizations in building secure, internal AI platforms, custom vector databases, and automated contract workflows (Agentic Workflows) that manage and mitigate risks in real-time with zero friction.

What does your full-service legal support for startups cover?

We provide end-to-end legal and economic backing from inception to scale. This includes structuring sophisticated founders agreements, IP assignment, corporate governance, venture building, and representing the company in capital rounds (SAFE, Equity) and strategic M&A transactions.

Why is an economic perspective (Law & Economics) crucial for my tech business?

Tech regulation is fundamentally economic. By applying rigorous Law & Economics principles, we do not just look at what is legally permissible; we model the financial and operational impact of legal structures on your business. The goal is a legal architecture that supports sustainable growth and protects company value.

How do your corporate training and masterclasses work?

We deliver highly specialized, actionable masterclasses and workshops for boards of directors, executive teams, and R&D departments. We translate complex tech-legal concepts, algorithmic risks, and shifting regulations into practical, business-oriented decision-making tools.

How do we start working with you?

We begin with a strategic Tech-Legal Diagnostics session. In this initial meeting, we map your current technical architecture, corporate structure, and regulatory exposure to identify immediate vulnerabilities and design a tailored roadmap for your venture.
