DSA — Audit and Compliance
Audit prep for DSA-regulated services. Review of transparency reports under Arts. 15 and 24 DSA, content-moderation procedures, notice-and-action systems, internal complaint-handling per Art. 20, and trusted-flagger protocols. We brief the audit team and stay in the room.
DMA & Further EU Regulation
DMA, Data Act, Digital Content Directive, Consumer Rights Directive, E-Commerce Directive, Portability Regulation. The framework around the framework — usually where the unexpected obligations live. We map exposure across the full stack and flag what actually applies to your service.
Strategic Alternative Dispute Resolution
Out-of-court dispute resolution under Art. 21 DSA, plus bespoke arbitration and mediation clauses for tech-IP disputes. WIPO and JAMS standards where they fit; ad hoc panels where they don't. The aim: keeping proprietary algorithms out of public discovery.
AI Act — EU AI Regulation
AI Act work for providers and deployers. Risk classification (prohibited / high-risk / GPAI / minimal), Annex III mapping, conformity assessment routes, technical documentation under Art. 11 and Annex IV, post-market monitoring per Art. 72. We translate the obligation list into a working compliance program.
