In line with the rapid digital transformation and the constant evolution of global regulations, Veirano Advogados has structured a strategic focus specifically on Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulation and digital governance. This move, which anticipates the approval of Bill No. 2.338/2023—the AI Regulatory Framework currently under consideration in the National Congress—consolidates the firm’s position as one of the country’s leading full-service law firms, offering a complete and integrated ecosystem of legal solutions for the responsible adoption of emerging technologies.
The new practice will be led by partners Adriana Rollo and Cintia de Morais Andrade , professionals with a solid track record in digital law, intellectual property, data protection and technology.
For Paula Surerus, CEO of Veirano Advogados, the launch has a strategic impact. “Artificial intelligence is redefining the global business environment and demands agile, sophisticated, and cross-functional governance from companies. As a full-service firm, our mission is to anticipate these regulatory and technological transformations so that our clients can innovate with complete legal certainty. The structuring of this dedicated practice reflects our ongoing commitment to institutional excellence and the future of the legal market,” stated the lawyer.
For Adriana Rollo, AI governance demands a broad and proactive vision. “The responsible adoption of artificial intelligence presupposes a perspective that goes beyond technical compliance, as it involves issues of intellectual property, privacy, ethics, transparency, and the construction of robust internal frameworks that keep pace with the speed of innovation. Our role is to ensure that our clients are prepared not only to comply with regulations, but also to lead responsibly and safely,” the partner emphasized.
For Cintia de Morais Andrade, the integration of AI and data protection is inseparable. “Artificial intelligence systems increasingly rely on processing large volumes of data, including personal data, making data protection an essential pillar of any AI governance strategy. Our competitive advantage lies in addressing this connection in an integrated way from the outset, and this is something we were already doing even before the regulation of the issue in Brazil,” the partner explained.
The practice was designed to support national and international organizations in navigating highly innovative and regulated environments with confidence, transforming regulatory complexity into competitive advantage and sound decision-making. Its work is multidisciplinary, integrating directly with the firm’s other areas of expertise, such as Public Law and Regulation, Commercial Contracts, M&A, Intellectual Property, Litigation, Compliance, and Antitrust & Competition.
Scope of services
The firm’s approach is structured to address regulatory complexity through the implementation of comprehensive governance programs and responsible use of artificial intelligence, ranging from traditional models to high-risk systems and generative AI. To ensure legal certainty at all stages of development, the team prepares customized AI Impact Assessments and DPIAs, in addition to conducting contractual and regulatory analyses of products, platforms, and new digital solutions.
In the regulatory field, the practice also aims to support clients’ actions before regulatory agencies and other public bodies in processes of public consultation, taking positions and reviewing or adapting current regulations in light of the impacts derived from artificial intelligence.
Complementing the technological front, the firm’s ecosystem encompasses privacy and compliance programs with the LGPD (General Data Protection Regulation) and international legislation, integrated with cybersecurity strategies, information governance, and security incident management. This ensures that technological innovation advances with legal certainty and without compromising business agility. Building on this regulatory foundation, the team also operates on the transactional and innovation front, conducting due diligence audits of technological assets, negotiating complex licensing agreements and model training, as well as offering corporate workshops and training focused on responsible AI practices.
