Robotics

Lawyers in our network provide legal solutions for the robotics industry

The development of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things – and the ambient intelligence it enables – and the increasing delegation of certain tasks to virtual assistants (e.g. chatbots) are leading to the emergence of a new speciality: robotics law.

On a technical level, robotics is at the crossroads of several economic sectors: mechatronics, electronics, software, nanomaterials, artificial intelligence, etc. It requires an understanding and interdisciplinary knowledge of these different sectors and their challenges.

Lexing advises and litigates on ethical, legal and technical issues such as

• Data flow management and compliance of Internet of Things applications;
• Preparation and use of smart contracts;
• Liability for defective products and damage caused by the use of robots or artificial intelligence;
• Protection and security of information systems;
• Ownership and protection of robotic innovations;
• Ethics and human rights;
• Standardisation and compliance.

Outsourcing, arbitration and mediation: flexible solutions for the robotics sector

We can provide your company with temporary in-house lawyers for a specific project (outsourcing).

To provide you with the most effective solution, we offer to replace litigation with arbitration, collaborative law or mediation if this is the most appropriate way to resolve your case.

As well as defending our clients’ interests in these procedures, some of our lawyers are regularly appointed as arbitrators or legal experts.

Lexing lawyers regularly participate in the work of the Robot Law Association.
