Strategic Advice.

From licensing agreements to AI policy strategy – tailored advice for organizations navigating the intersection of law and technology.

Copyright Law and AI

The emergence of generative AI has fundamentally disrupted the legal frameworks governing creative works. Sabine Richly advises publishers, platforms, creator organizations, and technology companies on the full spectrum of copyright questions, especially in the context of AI, from training data and text and data mining exceptions to the legal status of AI-generated output.

Areas of advice include:

  • Training data and lawful use under the DSM Directive
  • AI-generated content and authorship questions
  • Remuneration models for AI uses
  • Platform liability and proactive infringement risk
  • Contract drafting for licensing

EU AI Act & Compliance

The EU AI Act introduces a comprehensive risk-based framework that affects every organization developing or deploying AI systems in Europe. Sabine Richly advises on the practical implications of the Act – from risk classification and transparency obligations to the intersection with GDPR and sector-specific requirements.

Areas of advice include:

  • Risk classification of AI systems
  • Transparency and disclosure obligations under Art. 50 GDPR and AI Act interface
  • Code of Practice stakeholder dialogues
  • Compliance strategies for publishers and creative industries
  • Development of practical internal guidelines

Policy & Expert Opinions

Drawing on extensive experience with international organizations and  legislative processes, Sabine Richly provides authoritative expert opinions, policy papers, and strategic research for institutions, collective management organizations, and government bodies.

  • Expert studies and quantitative research
  • Policy papers for NGOs and international organizations
  • Legislative consultation and stakeholder representation
  • Scoping studies and comparative law analysis
  • Strategic research papers on AI and copyright policy

Lectures & Publications

With a track record of keynotes and panel appearances at leading  international conferences,  including WIPO, EUIPO, Frankfurter Buchmesse, and Initiative Urheberrecht, Sabine Richly brings current legal and policy  developments to professional and academic audiences.

Areas of engagement include:

  • Keynotes and panel moderation at international conferences
  • Academic publications and peer-reviewed legal commentary
  • In-house training and workshops for legal and management teams
  • University lectures on copyright, collective management, and AI law
  • Expert commentary for media and policy publications

AI Strategy & Organisational Change

Manading a media or creator organisation in the AI age is not primarily a legal challenge, it is mainly a human one. Employees have legitimate concerns. Workflows need  rethinking. And a strategy imposed from above usually does not work. Sabine Richly helps organisations develop holistic AI strategies that are legally sound, ethically grounded, and aligned with their actual goals, using Design Thinking methods and change management tools developed through years of leading complex transformation projects.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Workshops with teams to surface concerns, map workflows, and identify where AI genuinely adds value
  • Ethical framework design aligned with company values
  • Development of internal AI guidelines tailored to your organisation
  • Change management support for AI rollout
  • Training for management and staff at all levels
