About the practice

Adesanya AI Advisory

Adesanya AI Advisory is an independent legal and AI-governance practice based in Dublin, led by a called Barrister-at-Law with an LLM in Intellectual Property & Information Technology Law (UCD). The practice brings two decades of complex commercial and technology contracting — including engagements supporting global platforms such as Google and Meta — to the frontier of AI law: the EU AI Act, Responsible-AI governance, and the contracts that allocate AI risk.

"The next decade of technology law will be written at the intersection of the EU AI Act, data protection, and the contracts that govern how AI is built and bought. Our work sits precisely there — turning fast-moving regulation into operating models that hold."
