Comprehensive support for data protection
Data protection concerns present both business opportunities and mandatory legal obligations.

Helping you manage the opportunities and obligations of AI systems.
Artificial intelligence opens up significant opportunities for organizations, but these opportunities are accompanied by increasingly complex legal requirements. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act has significantly reshaped the framework for utilizing AI systems in organizations.
It is essential to ensure compliance not only with AI regulations but also with personal data and broader data-related legislation concerning the data utilized by AI. Our experts offer guidance on navigating these legal obligations, assessing and categorizing AI-related risks, and ensuring compliance across AI systems.
Compliance with the AI Act requires organizations to build effective governance models tailored to their roles in the AI value chain, from development to procurement. We assist in creating compliance and risk management processes and documentation, and we handle legal matters related to individual AI systems.
Our goal is to help you identify how compliance and risk management can enable organizational growth and innovation. A key factor in successful AI utilization is educating and engaging personnel to ensure proper adherence to AI policies and guidelines and facilitate understanding of AI’s capabilities. With our help, you can train and inspire your team to harness AI’s potential effectively and strategically.
Navigating the growing legal landscape of data regulation.
Data holds immense value as a tool for enhancing operations and creating added value for organizations across industries. However, the increasing regulation surrounding data presents new obligations as well as opportunities for innovation and business growth.
Entities across both public and private sectors must develop processes for managing data and controlling risks posed by these regulations. Compliance with regulatory requirements must be integrated into the designing and using of data-driven products and services. Especially, the EU data regulations entering into force in stages affect data transfer within EU.
Our experts provide legal guidance on various issues related to data governance, protection, and access. We assist clients in situations such as:
Our multidisciplinary team combines legal expertise in technology law and data governance with professionals specializing in commercial contracts and dispute resolution. Additionally, clients gain access to KPMG’s advisory services in data analytics and technical expertise.
Harnessing the value of intellectual assets for competitive advantage.
The importance of intellectual property rights (IPR) and intangible assets – such as algorithms, brands, innovations, and data – is steadily increasing. These assets often underpin or drive business operations. The adoption of AI technologies has introduced entirely new IPR considerations.
A solid IPR strategy, proper protection, and effective management of these rights bring a significant competitive edge and enable greater flexibility in the market. Research shows that organizations owning and safeguarding intangible assets generate nearly twice the revenue per employee compared to those that don’t.
Intellectual property can also be monetized through licensing, transfers, or sales. Proactive planning, agreements, and diligent enforcement of rights are essential to avoid disputes and prevent losing valuable rights.
Our experts support organizations in identifying, protecting, and leveraging intellectual property rights and assets. With strong expertise in both public and private sectors, we also leverage KPMG’s global network to assist in cross-border matters. In addition to legal services, we offer advisory support for IPR valuation and tax-related matters.
