We help companies say yes to AI, with confidence.
Arkmont helps leadership teams make faster, better decisions about AI - where to move, where to pause and what needs to be in place to stay in control.
We bring legal, commercial and technical judgement together, and can act as your Fractional AI Governance Officer, putting practical governance around how you use, build and scale AI.
We help investors, leadership teams and GCs.
AI Product Launch
For businesses putting AI into what they sell. We work with product and engineering teams to get the legal, regulatory and contractual foundations right before launch, especially before real client data goes anywhere near it.
AI Governance Foundations
For businesses already using AI across teams. We map what's actually being used, identify the obligations that apply, and put in place one practical governance standard your teams can work with - including what to insist on from AI vendors and how to answer questions from clients, an auditor or an investor.
Agentic AI Readiness Review
For businesses switching on AI tools that can act, not just generate content or assist. We assess permissions, oversight, accountability, containment, as well as where liability sits if it goes wrong. You get a clear roadmap for safe deployment.
Fractional AI Governance Officer
Ongoing senior AI governance support. We advise on new use cases, keep your registers and risk position current, and support your steering group and board reporting — and give your teams someone to go to when they need a clear answer.
Built by senior lawyers who understand business from the inside.
Arkmont was founded by Alexis Goldfinch and Philip Dekker, former Freshfields lawyers and IAPP Certified AI Governance Professionals with senior in-house experience at VC, PE and enterprise businesses in the UK and Europe.
We combine legal rigour with commercial experience to build AI governance that works in practice: aligned with recognised standards (EU AI Act, NIST, ISO 42001), calibrated to your business, risk appetite and ambitions.
