REGULATED SECTORS

AI governance in complex regulatory environments. Connect obligations with operational decisions.

GLIE Legal helps organisations approach AI governance in the context of their sector, activities and existing oversight arrangements.

Our focus is the connection between legal requirements and day-to-day decisions: how an AI use case is assessed, who is responsible, what evidence is needed and when specialist review should be involved.

Discuss your sector-specific AI needs

Start with the activity, not the sector label

We scope the assessment around the organisation’s actual activities, the intended use of AI and the decisions it will support.

  • What does the AI system do, and in which business process will it be used?
  • What role does the organisation perform, and which other parties are involved?
  • Which legal, contractual and internal requirements need to be assessed?
  • How should the use case connect with existing risk, compliance, security and oversight processes?
  • Which decisions require approval, supporting evidence or specialist input?

Illustrative contexts for engagement

The following examples illustrate how an engagement could be framed. They are not descriptions of completed client projects or a statement of comprehensive sector coverage.

Financial and insurance activities

For proposed AI uses supporting customer interactions, analytical work or internal operations, we would examine the intended reliance, review responsibilities, supplier relationships and escalation arrangements.

Healthcare and life sciences

For AI-enabled workflows, we would define the intended purpose, affected stakeholders and boundaries between administrative, professional and technical decisions, identifying where specialist assessment is needed.

Infrastructure and essential operations

For proposed AI uses in planning, maintenance or operational support, we would focus on dependencies, human oversight, change management and decisions about restricted or interrupted use.

Public services and employment

For AI-supported interactions or decisions involving individuals, we would examine the decision process, review routes, documentation and allocation of responsibility.

These examples do not assign a regulatory classification to any particular system. Classification and applicable obligations are matters for a separately scoped assessment of the specific use case.

A structured route through complexity

  1. Define the context

    Identify the AI activities, organisational roles, jurisdictions and regulatory questions within the agreed scope.

  2. Map requirements and gaps

    Review relevant requirements, existing controls and available evidence. Record assumptions, dependencies and issues requiring additional expertise.

  3. Connect responsibilities and controls

    Propose practical ownership, review and escalation arrangements, linked to the organisation’s existing governance processes.

  4. Prioritise the next steps

    Present findings and an implementation sequence, with proposed owners, outstanding decisions and reassessment points.

Defined scope. No blanket compliance claims.

This page describes the intended application of GLIE Legal’s advisory approach. The requirements to be assessed, deliverables and exclusions are agreed for each engagement.

Sector-specific authorisations, regulatory submissions, specialist technical validation, clinical assessment and independent assurance are outside the engagement unless expressly included and supported by appropriate expertise.

Where an issue falls outside the agreed scope or requires specialist advice, it is identified for separate assessment. The engagement does not constitute certification, regulatory approval or a guarantee of compliance.

The organisation retains responsibility for its operational decisions, implementation and any required approvals or notifications.
