Our main areas of focus included regulations concerning life sciences, pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, food, cosmetics, advertising, and marketing communications.

Dynamic regulatory changes require not only knowledge of the law, but also an understanding of market specifics and the challenges faced by our Clients.

As early as 2 August 2026, the Artificial Intelligence Act , commonly known as the AI Act, will become applicable. These are the first steps in artificial intelligence legislation in response to the still-developing technology that impacts not only economic benefits, but also environmental and social ones. Although the main body of the AI Act's provisions will apply from 2 August 2026, the EU legislator has been gradually implementing the regulations – a portion of the provisions applied as of 2 February 2025 and 2 August 2025, and selected obligations regarding high-risk AI systems will apply from 2 August 2027. For business, however, this is not just another legal document. It is a fundamental change in the rules of the game that will affect how companies optimize costs, create innovations, and build competitive advantage, balancing economic benefits with safety and the rights of consumers or other vulnerable groups, such as children.
