We help strengthen your legal function
AI is creating legal, regulatory and commercial questions faster than most legal teams can absorb them. Arkmont gives GCs senior, specialist AI governance capability, without adding another lawyer for Legal to manage.
Bring us the questions that don't fit neatly into one legal specialism
Can we use this data to train the model?
Has the business become an AI provider?
What does this vendor's AI clause mean for our liability?
Does this product now fall within the EU AI Act?
Where does a human need to intervene?
What happens if an agent acts outside its intended scope?
What will we need to show a regulator, customer or investor?
We join the dots between regulation, data, contracts, product, liability and the technology itself, and give you an answer your business can act on.
Extend your team's capability
AI governance sits across legal, privacy, data, product, technology and risk. Few legal teams have the specialist capacity to cover all of it, particularly as AI moves from experimentation into products, processes and autonomous systems.
We add that capability to your existing team, bringing focused AI governance expertise without the cost or commitment of building a permanent specialist function.
Policy and governance frameworks
Build or review AI governance frameworks, operating models, policies, registers and decision-making processes; and apply them to the harder product questions: training AI, using data in AI systems, and embedding AI into what you sell.
AI contracts and vendor risk
Review and negotiate AI vendor terms, customer contracts and the allocation of risk and liability around AI.
Regulatory analysis
Translate the EU AI Act and other relevant regulations into practical obligations for the business, including classification, applicability and impact assessments.
Fractional AI Governance Officer
Ongoing senior AI governance capability alongside your team. We advise on new use cases, keep your registers and risk position current, and support your steering group and board reporting - so the questions that don't fit neatly anywhere have a permanent home.
Embedded alongside your team
You know the business. We bring the specialist AI governance capability.
We work alongside you, your legal team and the wider stakeholders responsible for AI, adding senior AI governance capability without displacing the relationships and business context you already hold.
That might mean helping you build the governance framework from scratch, supporting a particular AI product or transaction, or acting as a senior sounding board when a difficult question lands. Or it might mean acting as your Fractional AI Governance Officer: providing ongoing senior support across the issues that cut across Legal, Risk, Technology, Procurement and the business, and giving AI governance a clear home.
As your Fractional AI Governance Officer, we can help assess new tools and use cases, support your AI Steering Group, keep your AI inventory and risk position current, respond to customer and supplier questions, and help management and the Board understand how AI is being used and governed.
Because we have worked in-house ourselves, we know that governance only works if the business can actually operate it. We understand the realities of securing stakeholder buy-in, navigating competing priorities and turning governance into practical decisions and controls that work across the business.
Our role is to give you the specialist judgement and capacity to keep AI moving safely, without creating another layer of process for Legal to manage.
